Programmer
Recently I had an interview with a company who had just started the process of looking at a new position. I know someone in the company that is how I had an interview before the position was even defined. Well as it turns out the programming position is not likely to be needed since they found a product to do the things they wanted someone to program.
Well after my interview and a couple of weeks of talking to them intermittently about the position and where it was headed, I came up with a fantastic (I think) idea that fits in with their current development.
I had prepared a document discussing my idea, however at the last minute (before going to talk to them) I decided against taking it. I was somewhat concerned at giving them too much info about my idea without any guarantee of some kind of return. As a result my discussion with them may have been somewhat lacking (in my mind).
They have scheduled Friday of this week to get back in touch with me. I am wondering if perhaps I should forward the document I have prepared to show them that I am capable of a coherent statement of the idea.
I really believe in the potential of my idea, and if the company I approached is not interested I will pursue it on my own. The problem with that is the time line for me to pursue it on my own is likely to be substantially larger than to be part of it with the aforementioned company.
I don't know what to do. They are a company I am definitely interested in working for, with real potential. I want them to know that but at the same time I do not want to appear desperate.
