Post Interview Tips – 15 Minutes after your interview
The build up to an interview is hugely important, however rarely do candidates put as much in to the 15 minutes following an interview. Below are a few points I have picked up from gaining feedback from my candidates’ interviews:
- Always take the contact details of the person interviewing you – a personal follow up to thank them for their time goes a long way.
- As soon as you are out of the building, note down your feelings on the following: The Interviewer, the position you are going for, the company. By doing this as you are leaving you will still be in a similar emotional state as to when you were in the interview room. It is amazing how feelings can change after an hour of analysing – first impressions are often the most important!
- If you have applied for a position via a recruiter, always get them to follow up if you haven’t heard anything – we’re here to be pushy for you.
- If you are not successful, but received good feedback, send your interviewer a connection request on LinkedIn and every so often you’ll pop in to their head when they see you in their news feed.
