After Interview
After the Interview
There is nothing here that you do not already know, but reinforcement is good. Also the emotional aspect of the transitionee is highly charged enough. Read the below, and attempt to remember this is a sales call. Treat it as such.
After the interview rules:
1. Always give hiring authority a firm handshake, use proper eye contact and close for the "next step". Remember, you are expected to be in a sales mode and close for the order.
2. Always show enthusiasm for the interviewer, their position, their background, and their responsibility, if not for the opportunity.
3. Always seek a definite time for the next decision, and review your strengths as you are doing so.
4. Always send a thank you note, email, and hard copy.
5. Always review your strengths, in the follow-up note, also address one or two issues raised in the conversation. Then close, ask for the position and state a start date. CLOSE, CLOSE,CLOSE.
