You Finished The Interview. Now What?

It’s no secret that finishing a successful interview is a great feeling. However, job seekers should know their work isn’t done the moment the interview is over; on the contrary, aspiring employees need to perform additional tasks to boost their chances of securing their dream jobs. Here are some key steps to take after you complete that interview:

Jot Down Impressions

It’s hard sometimes to remember what happened yesterday, let alone weeks or months ago. That’s why staffing pros advise job seekers to jot down a few notes about an interview right after it happens. Not only could the contacts you made prove useful down the line, but noting what you did right and wrong in the interview could also improve your future interview performance, boosting your odds of landing that dream job.

Send a Thank You Email

If you’ve ever looked for a job, then you probably know that sending a thank you email after each interview is a must. However, many people struggle with what said email should contain. At Here’s Help, we recommend job candidates take the time to verify the spelling and titles of the people who interviewed them. Additionally, you should reiterate your interest in the company and stress those skills and traits that you will bring to the team. Remember, when it comes to choosing between two qualified candidates, passion goes a long way.

Follow Up with the Hiring Manager

The worst part of applying for jobs is often waiting to hear back from the hiring manager. If a few days have passed since your interview, don’t hesitate to contact the hiring manager directly to follow up. While it’s okay to reinforce your desire to work at the company, avoid badgering the manager or demanding a response. Be polite and brief and boost your odds of scoring that position.
