It is almost embarrassing to admit, but at my last company we would often end up hiring (or bringing in for an interview) the candidate who was most "front of mind" via a recent followup inquiry, a handwritten thank you note for an interview, etc.

I'm going to try and stay "fresh" on their minds, and a note is a great idea. I think I've been likable but perhaps not persistent enough.

Your right about NPS being slow. These are all Park Guide positions, one opening for the Museum of Westward Expansion (underneath the St. Louis Arch) and three for the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site (also in St. Louis). This would be a great opportunity for me, so I'm hoping and praying to do everything right this time around.
