November 6, 2019

What you do after the interview will make the interviewer remember you when making the final decision.

An interviewer will opt to choose the best candidate for the job after an interview. But what can make you be the best candidate? You have all been selected for the interview because you have the qualifications. Some candidates might even be more qualified than you are. What else can you do to stand out from the rest after selling your skills at the interview? A candidate can do a few things after the interview to stand out from the rest.

Be thankful

Send a thank you to the interviewer by either sending a letter or an email. It is important to show appreciation for the opportunity to sell your skills. Also, the interviewer took their time to look at your skills and taking their time to listen to what you have to offer. It is not only courteous to be thankful, but it will also make you stand out from the rest, hence increasing your chances.

Make a follow-up

It is a good gesture to call and make a follow up after the interview. Your interest in the job and eagerness to start working is shown when you make a follow-up. Always remember to be courteous and thankful.

Be patient

Although it is a good gesture to make a follow-up, be patient. It is fine to call and inquire when you will be given feedback but do not call every day. Being too over eager can send the wrong message to the employer. It is better to wait for the interviewer to call you on the period you agreed before making another call.

In summary, what you do after the interview will make the interviewer remember you when making the final decision. Hence, your chances of being considered are increased.
