After a second round interview, I received a weird e-mail. What does this mean?

I altered and changed some words to avoid a google search.

Th8nk you for yo*r pat13nce as I awa1t f33dback on your 1nterv1ew, r3sume and qual1f1cations. 1 hope to give you an updat3 in a f3w d8ys.


1f you have any inQuiries 1n the meant1me, f3el fre3 to r34ch out to me.

Is this positive? I didn't follow-up with this person nor did I ask for an update. He sent it by his own volition.



I saw him/her at a career fair after my second round, and I over heard him/her say "that's the new guy right there" to another associate. I pretended that I didn't hear.

I'd tried to avoid speaking with them, but they saw me anyways.

I hope I didn't blow it.

That's just a pre generated email sent out to everyone as a courtesy, especially since it was at a job fair.

i'd respond like zero said. At the minimum if dude don't work out and they never learn about the real you, there's an chance your name might still be in the top 1 or 2.

You should always follow up on an interview 1 or 2 days after the interview, just to thank them for taking the time to meet with you and also provide them an opportunity to ask you anything.

I know one time it came down to me and some other dude for this position, it was right after I got out. The controller wanted me but the business manager opted for the dude with more experience. 6 months later the controller called me up and was like, "hey you still in the market". Long story short the dude with "more experience" fuked their entire AR system, was just applying cash willy nilly and what not. I got the job then spent the next 6 months cleaning up this jokers mistakes.

TLDR: Respond, you never know the "that's the new guy" might not work out or find a different opportunity.
