Trust me, email is the way to go so you did good on that.
Next time come up with something...I mean the questions are the closer. When you bust out info on a particular office on a particular client they've worked on they get impressed. When you ask what they dislike about their job...eh...but better than nothing.
I always like to write 2 or 3 questions down on a piece of paper while researching the company. Just keep them on you and memorize them.
We have all been disappointed about not getting jobs. It comes with the whole territory. We've all been fantastic candidates who they can't wait to have on board and then gotten a rejection. But you can't let it hold you back

Thanks for the advice everyone. In terms of thank yous, I dont like to send them through email, but this is the only way I could.
My interview for office manager was at a coffee shop because the place I am interviewing for is still being built. They only have dry wall up at the office building and it isnt ready to be moved into for a month Im told. I only had their email addresses of the two people I interviewed with so as soon as I came home I sent out a thank you to both of them.
I did receive a email back saying thanks for the note, they also said they are in the process of finishing up the rest of the interviews and will let me know. I was told too that they enjoyed meeting with me. They kept complimenting me on my resume and experience and answers I gave to their questions. I really hope they meant that and were as impressed as they said. Hopefully Ill hear back and get the job.
As far as not asking any questions, I do feel bad about it because I always try to come up with something to ask, but I mean I literally drew a blank. They told me all about them, why they chose their field, where they were from, what they have degrees in, where they live, also all about the position, the benefits, the pay, the duties, programs Id use, the people Id hire, I mean everything, they asked me certain things about my resume and about myself and even told me why they wanted to start this new place. It was so hard to come up with something. Between the two of them I practically know their life stories and without asking personal questions I wouldnt know what to ask. They told me on the phone and in the interview how impressed with my experience and resume they were so Im hoping mine is better than anyone else they interview. One of the gentlemen told me how when he read my resume he felt like I wrote it with a smile and now that hes met me he knew I had to cause I have a wonderful personality and smile all the time. They then said I was a interviewers dream lol. I hope that means I did good. I hate getting my hopes up and then they pick someone more qualified or something........
Oh well Im keeping my fingers crossed.
As for the interview questions I need to think of something to always ask at any interview...
