What to do After an Interview
After you leave an interview you can be stuck in tandem and you may not know what to do. Edge Careers has taken a look at what you can do after an interview to get help you with your progression in the interview process.
Send an Email
One of the easiest things to do is to send an email to the interviewer just to thank him/her for taking the time to meet with you and for giving you the opportunity to apply for the position.
You can also go over anything that you may have forgotten to say during the interview or strengthen any points that you feel need to be reiterated.
Contact Your Recruiter
If you are at your interview through a recruitment agency then you should contact your recruitment consultant after your interview to give them your feedback. This will also then push them to get feedback off the interviewer so you can have more clarity on what is happening going forward.
They can also guide you through the process and give you advice on what to do next and answer any questions you may have come away with.
Make Notes
If you have left the interview and your head is a bit all over the place, then make a few notes. You may want to jot down some positives and negatives about the role and the company to give you a clearer insight into whether it is the right company and the right role for you.
Clear Your Head
If you are heading back to work after your interview, it would be wise to take a couple of minutes to just clear you head and make a few notes, so that when you go back into work you are not distracted.
Notify Your References
If you have been asked by the interviewer to provide references, then you should get in contact with them first so that they know that a call may be coming and will be prepared to sing your praises.
Follow Up With the Interviewer or Recruiter
If you haven’t heard from either your recruiter or the interviewer after a reasonable amount of time, don’t be afraid to chase it up yourself. It is important not to harass the interviewer though, as they can be very busy people, so if they haven’t come back to you they may have just been too busy. The last thing they want to see is 5 missed calls from you.
If you have had an interview through an agency, give your consultant a call and they may be able to tell you why there has been a delay in feedback from the interviewer.
