So, you went for an interview and it was good. Does that ensure you get the job? Actually, all recruiter expect certain actions post interview from the aspiring candidates. However, seldom candidates know about these steps, which keep them ahead of the interviewers’ choices. So, instead of waiting eagerly for a response from the interviewer, do these things:
- Say “Thank you”: Once you come back from the interview, send a mail to the interviewers expressing your gratitude for allowing you to sit for the interview. It is a simple display of courtesy that many candidates consider outdated. However, if you send a “Thank You” mail and mention anything specific that you noticed about the company or reinforced your determination to join the company, it counts. You may even write about a probable solution or answer for something that was discussed in the interview. You may even ask any important query or suggest something outstanding to the interviewers.
- Review the interview: If you sit a while and think about the whole interview process that took place, you’d find your own mistakes and your positive aspect. You could remember the questions that you had a difficult time answering and also the types of questions that were being asked. It is something that will make you experienced and ready to face future interviews.
- Start preparing for next: After coming from one interview, you should not sit and wait for the response of the interviewers. Instead, you should start preparing for the interviews that are coming up next. Take this interview as an experience and be prepared not to make similar mistakes. Think positive and face interview for the second time in a stronger way.
- Let your references know: If your CV has names of references, be sure to let your references know that you went for an interview and that the interviewers might contact them. This is a god gesture on your part so that they are ready to provide valuable information about you to the company. You should also inform them about the ways your interview went and how you are looking forward to get a call from the interviewers.
- You should continue networking: Yes, even if you feel that you can bag this job opportunity, you should not stop networking. Making connections with people always help in the long run. You may need to change jobs or find newer ones. You should be able to use your connections for those times. Stay in touch with everyone and keep them updated with your job search progress.
