13.9 After the Interview: Following Up
Tips to Follow Post Interview
- Send a follow up ‘Thank You’ letter by email to the interviewer(s) immediately upon your return home. Include a brief paragraph reiterating your interest in the position and company and how you qualify for the role.
- Reflect on the interview. Document the questions and your responses. Were there questions you struggled with? How could you have been better prepared?
- Review your performance. What would you do the next time to improve your success?
- Request feedback. If you are not successful ask for feedback from the interviewer.
- Treat every interview as an opportunity to improve your skills. Focus on the positives, what you learned and what you can do better next time.
