Reply to comment by NeObi-WanKenoLetItBe in TIFU by accruing $145 in long distance call charges for a job interview by idoescompooters

I don't have their email. I already said I appreciate his time at the very end. The first interview was just HR pre-screen, and this one was basically another pre-screen but with my prospective boss. The next one is with the team for some technical questions. Also, I'm already 1 out of 4 left of the total 64 that applied. And he said he's looking for a junior engineer as opposed to someone with 6 years experience anyway.

That's an interesting thought about asking to be reimbursed for the cost of the call. Also my "expected" salary which is essentially a lateral move for me, is already "very slightly above" what they were thinking.

Slightly above is good. As you move up in your career, the thought is, you get what you pay for. People don't brag about how cheap their lawyers and accountants are.

I would investigate to find their emails. Linkedin, google. Figure out the pattern of how they set up their emails. First initial, lastname @ whatever.com. Say what you know its a little unconventional but you wanted to reach out to thank them for their time, explain WHY you're perfect for the role. And thank them again. I've beat out 360 other candidates just by going the extra mile in the interview process.
