Internship Interview - Forgot to Mention a Project
I recently had an interview that I thought went really well, at a smaller division of a company that is very successful. This is a position that I really want.
One of the questions that I was asked involved any projects that I may have worked on. I mentioned two of them, but forgot to mention another one that I think could be really helpful with me getting the job.
They already seem mostly impressed with me, but I am nervous because I am about to graduate college in another year and I have never interned before. It seems like, even if I think the interview goes well, I never get the job. So, who I am to say that they're going to offer the position to me?
All of these people seem very friendly, laidback but still professional. I think that they would be great to work with.
A man who I interviewed with, and who was friendly enough to walk downstairs with me and point out which direction to walk in for the subway train, gave me his business cards so that I could communicate with him if I have any questions.
I would like to inform him of this project, in which I researched the performance of a particular stock, using financial data (it is financial analyst internship, where I would be assisting the team in coming up with plans for successfully budgeting their client's marketing plans), but I am nervous about coming off as irritating.
Of course, he is busy and has tons of other things to do. Should I email him the details of that project?
The opportunity is amazing. I have the option to return for another summer, if it goes well, and possibly relocate to do the rotational program which will expose me to all areas of the business.

Leave things alone. You thanked him and now its in their hands to choose their candadate. Contacting again can be seen as unprofessional or pushing for a decision. It backfired every single time.
Beleive me they know who you are abd what you have done and offer. These people also check every aspect of a person's background and will likely find out about this project in that process. Ask your references kindly if they can highlight that project when people call. That's how to handle your omission.

Have you sent a thank you note yet?
The easiest way to do this would be to send a note or email thanking him for the chance to interview, and include a VERY brief (3 or 4 sentences max) about the project you neglected to mention.
Emailing him the details of the project might get you into trouble, but mentioning the project in the context of thanking him for his time and repeating your desire for the job would not be fine.
