I have no idea the proper etiquette, but since you know a decision will be made so soon after the interview, I'd say you could safely break the two day rule... I wouldn't send one immediately (looks too kiss up or formulaic), but maybe one tomorrow morning - say thank you for the interview, and keep the rest simple...
As for the "your desk" type comments, I'm like you - that would make me excited... But I'm not sure it's an actual clue... I think it has no reflection on the decision actually - the alternative would be "whoever gets the job can have this desk" or "this will be the new teacher's desk", and both sound awkward and cold - especially if they are talking to a candidate one on one... I don't think it means yes or no... It's better than "when that new teacher starts" - I'd feel I was definitely excluded by that sort of comment...lol
Good luck!

I really wanted a particular job, so I wrote a thank you that night and mailed it the next day. I also go the job.  |

I would email/drop off a handwritten card the following morning. Good luck!

It wouldn't cross my mind to send a thank you after an interview. I would however verbally thank the interview panel for their time once the interview was done.

I believe with emails you are now supposed to send them within 24 hours. They are making a decision tonight...send it now

I recently got one within an hour of the interview. I thought it showed how together she was. BTW, I hired her, although honestly I probably would have hired her without the thank you email.

I'd email it ASAP. Before they make their decision.

IF you read I said I was part time at the same place for two years. I taught during summers for different districts-not where I currently work. This is for a full time position at the level I enjoy working. You wouldn't leave a part time job with no benefits for full time , full benefits? In the past three years I worked at two places. It's not the number of jobs you have actually worked that prompted this comment: You are changing jobs again??? Girl you need to stop job hopping. it's the number of interviews and/or applications and/or asking the Ps questions about said. It's been a lot. Good luck. |

If you want the job, send a thank you ASAP. Yesterday, a thank you note from a candidate helped me choose to select them for a job opening. It wasn't the sole reason, but it helped!

It isn't common practice in the UK to send a thank you email after an interview.  It looks a bit desperate, if I'm honest. |

You are changing jobs again??? Girl you need to stop job hopping. Going from a part-time job with no benefits to a full-time position is not job hopping. It is a smart move. If after two years, her old employer could not offer her full time work, it was time to move on. Good luck OP - sounds like you got this! |

She has posted about at least 5-6 interviews in the last year alone, waffling back and forth. Saying she is taking one and then no the other. So I was under the impression she had been job hopping. It is bizarre behavior and I am not the only one that has noticed it. |

I'm sorry you didn't get the job.
I will say for future interviews with a close turn around. I would go home and email immediately with some specific references to what you learned about the job/ organization
Talk like you have the job, "I'm really looking forward to teaching the 4th grade curriculum, I love teaching xxxxxx book, and would love to have the students do xxxxx with the material."
I teach people how to hire good people and I KNOW this works!
I once got a job because after the third interview I sent in a 30-60-90 day plan as to how I would approach the job. It was very generic based on the job description, but it made me stand out amongst other candidates.
Good Luck I got my first teaching job a week into the school year... so don't give up hope!
