Follow-up after thank you note, post interview

Anonymous
I had a successful in person interview and promptly (same day) sent a thank you note. I know they plan to make decisions next week on who to invite for last round interviews. I am considering sending an email to the hiring managers to say something like, "I know you are making decisions next week regarding the final round. Since we last corresponded, my work week included (name three things that correspond to the job perfectly)." Good idea? Bad idea? Neutral so I can do it if it makes me feel better. This is basically the dream job.

Bad idea. You would seem stalkerish.

Bad idea. Very bad idea. There are far more people who would be turned off by this (and think you wouldn't be a good fit in the environment ) than there are people who would think you were a "go getter".

Even if they were explicit about the hurting time,one? They also responded very positively to thank you notes, if that matters.

It's a bad idea, even if they responded positively to your thank you email. No interviewer is looking to strike up an email correspondence with an interviewee.

It's almost never a good idea to follow-up past the thank you note. If they want to hire you, they'll let you know.

Just do it well. Be sure no typos, etc. and try to actually add something to what they know.
