How relevant is that background to the role you're interviewing for?

If you gained relevant experience (and aren't just trying to show that you have an interest/passion in their industry/business model) you can include one or two quick anecdotes in a follow up email.

smart

this is helpful. aside from maybe emphasizing my answer to the ‘why doordash’ question its not adding much

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.
