Follow up after an interview

Does anyone have any advice about doing follow up after a job interview? I've been in to this one place three times, and they seemed enthusiastic about me. The only issue, though, is that they would essentially be creating a position for me, and haven't decided a) whether they want to do that; b) what the exact job description would be; and c) when they would want someone to start.

How would you handle follow up in this situation? I want to keep myself on their mind and seem enthusastic about the place, which I am, but don't want to overdo it.

I would just do a regular follow-up and instead of writing the title of the position just write position or something like that. Make sure you list your best qualities and how they relate to this new position...although I don't know why they would start interviewing if they don't know what the position is and what the descriptions will be. Good Luck. Keep us posted.

your profile says you are in legal, so I will assume you are staying in the same field. Just send a letter briefly explaining some of your qualities that have helped companies save money and make more money. That way, they can get the idea that hiring you will not cost them, if you help save and build revenue. It helps managers justify, even if only to themselves, the extra expense of a new employee.
