The Interview Continues

After the preparation and official meeting is over, the interview is still going! A couple more key steps can help ensure your success:

Write a thank you message

Send a thank you message within 24 hours of the interview. This can make a big difference! 

  • Thank your interviewer for their time.
  • Remind them of your success stories.
  • Relate it the position.
  • Provide any follow-up materials they may have requested (for example, certification or licensure documentation).

Take some time to debrief

  • What did you feel went well?
  • What did you feel needs improvement?
  • Make note of any particularly difficult questions or scenarios so that you can be more adequately prepared for your next interview.  

Keep applying, keep interviewing

  • It is important to continue your search until you have secured an opportunity that fits your career goals.
