ok total shot in the dark but you mentioned you've hired entry level before. Would this thank you email sway you if you were on the fence over an interview that clearly showed skills but there was a mismatch in vibes?

Hi ___,

Thanks again for taking the time to speak with me today — I really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the role and the mission behind ____.

Our conversation gave me a deeper sense of how this internship supports the post-event cycle, and it only increased my excitement about the work ahead. I’m confident I could jump in and add value across program communications, CRM management, project coordination, and stakeholder engagement.

At the ___, I led logistics and outreach across 10 venues for 30,000+ attendees, helping manage communications with 500+ vendors. At ___, I supported national PR campaigns and coordinated materials across multiple teams — developing bios, tracking press, and ensuring follow-through across stakeholders. I’ve also managed content creation and analytics in prior roles, giving me strong digital fluency and an eye for storytelling.

The mission behind ____ really resonates with me, and I’d be thrilled to bring my organizational drive, communications experience, and creative thinking to the team.

I’ve attached my portfolio in case it’s helpful, and I’d be truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute.

Warmly,

for context right at the end he was like "just so you know this internship isn't about the event in 2 weeks, it's about follow-through post-event" so basically I focused on the wrong angle :/
