Key guidance for the interview - part 3 (helpful hints from the career coach) - The Review Phase

At the end of the interview there are two very important things to do which will be of significant help.

The first is to take notes as soon as you can at the end of the interview. Either take short notes in the loo before you leave or as soon as you get to your car or the railway station. I giv my clients a summary sheet to use - you need to think objectively aboutm your own performance, the questions asked, the examples you gave, how you looked, lots of things to help you for a next interview.

Also to note what you thought about the company - would you like to work for them? What questions would you have if you ccome back for a second interview.

The second thing to do is to write a note of thanks. Thank them for givng you an interview, say how pleased you were to meet with them, remind them of your strengths and let them know of any areas you wish to clarify.for example if you can now think of a better example.

This could make a difference!

Good luck, and don’t forget I sell an eBook on interviews and also offer interview coaching
