After the Interview


Evaluate your interview performance.

Make each interview a learning experience so that you don't make the same mistakes over and over again.

Identify your strengths and weaknesses in the interviewing process.

When answering the interviewers questions:
  • Did I highlight my experience and skills so that they met the interviewer's qualifications for the job?
  • Did I take the opportunity to mention my strengths in order to show the interviewer what I had to offer to the job?
  • Did I ask questions that helped me clarify the job and show my interest and knowledge?
  • How did I make myself stand out?
  • What points did I make that seemed to interest the interviewer?
  • Was I positive and enthusiastic?
  • Did I talk too much? Too little?
  • Was I aggressive? Or was I unassertive?
  • What did I learn that I can apply to my next interview?
Send a thank you letter to the interviewer.   Send a letter regardless of how you think the interview went or your interest in being part of the organization. This can make a huge difference in the hiring/selection process.

Keep good records of your interview:
    • who interviewed you,
    • when the interview took place, and
    • what actions did you take to follow-up with the organization
.
