Ending a Job Interview Strong
Hi, I'm Katie Roney on behalf of Expert Village we are talking about how to have a successful interview. Through the course of your interview write things down on your resume. Take notes, maybe even make a little list at the bottom or on the back of action items. Things that you and the potential employer are discussing such as will they let you know what the benefits are. Are they going to get back to you on some piece of information. Take all of this down. At the very end of the interview you can flip back to it and say OK, just to follow up I want to make sure that we're on the same page. And it's fine to do this as a candidate. It lets them know that you are summarizing, that you were listening, that you were participating in the interview. So go over anything that you discussed previously and make sure you ask them, what are the next steps? Are you going to call me or should I give you a call in the next couple of days? Kind of feel them out and they'll probably let you know. That creates a sense of urgency on their part and they'll know that you are interested and ready to come to back. Phil, is there anything else we need to go over? No, I don't think so. I think you covered it all. No questions? No, I don't think so. OK, is there anything that you wanted to discuss at all? I think you covered everything. OK, well that's good, hopefully I answered all your questions. OK, that was not good. Not to me. His body language, his response was, I actually don't care enough to ask you any questions and I'm just really to get out of here. So, be prepared and have your follow up list.
