[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP who said you should reach out to your former employer and let them know someone will be contacting them. Steer the conversation that you appreciate everything they’ve done in the past and value your time with the company and feel proud of your accomplishments, but now you are also looking forward to the next chapter of your professional career. If you have any milestones you’re proud of, you could always gently remind them through brief allusion when you say you valued your time there etc.

Practice that phone call with a friend. Or if you don’t trust yourself, send an email (have a friend read your email first before sending).

Others will have better advice, but my thought is that I would not specifically email the CEO to apologize for your emotional outburst, but if you have some substantive reason to email her, either thanking her for the interview or reiterating why you would be a great fit for the job, then you might figure out how to very briefly mention that you are sorry for the extremely uncharacteristic moment, then immediately pivot back to being excited about the chance to make substantive contributions to the company.
