Ask for some time to think it over and ask when the company needs a decision by.Say Thank You
You have, it would be magnificent, already sent a thank note to the people you interviewed with the first time. Again, take the time to send a thank you letter (email is ok) to everyone you met with and reiterate your interest in the company and in the position.Back: How to interview
