If the interview went
well…
You loved the job
even more and want it. Good news
girlfriend! Hopefully it is a match made
in heaven. Use this time to think more
about the position for any additional follow up questions you may have before
committing, continue to research similar roles online to ensure your expectations
are accurate, and think more specifically about your salary requirements if you
haven’t discussed these already. If you are without a job currently, DO NOT
STOP YOUR JOB SEARCH. Even the best
interviews don’t always materialize, KEEP LOOKING.
You aren’t sure if
you really want it or if it is the right fit for you. Don’t
rush to judgment just yet. If you have
questions or concerns, make sure you note them.
If the company is prepared to make you an offer, make sure you get all
of these answered before you accept or decline.
If you are without a job, you may not have a choice but to seriously
consider the position. Remember,
everything is negotiable.
If the interview didn’t
go so well…
Keep your head up girlfriend. Hopefully you remained composed throughout
the whole process and did your absolute best.
Even if at the end of the discussion, it was pretty clear you would not
be successful, you met some good contacts and a little interview practice never
hurt anyone. If the position is truly
not the right fit for you, better to know now than a month from now when you
are ready to quit.
In all cases…
ALWAYS send a thank you email regardless of how the
interview went. You never know where you
might cross paths with the interviewer again or they may have an additional
opening in the future that would be a good fit for you. Stay positive girlfriend!
