What to do after the interview is over

-

Post-interview
We would discuss here what to do after the interview is over; from the moment the interviewer is done asking questions till the time you walk out of the premises. This is a very under-rated and yet, extremely important step of an interview process. Closing an interview gives you the final chance to leave a positive impression in the mind of the interviewer about you as a prospective employee with the organization. 

The following few steps will help you in leaving a lasting impression in the mind of the interviewer well after the interview is over:
  • Ask questions to the interviewer. The HR will feel that you have done your research on the company.
  • Shake the interviewers’ hands confidently, if he offers you the hand first. Don’t offer a handshake from your side first, as it is still against customs in some countries to shake hands, especially if the interviewer is a lady.
  • Thank the interviewer(s) for the opportunity and rephrase your interest to work with the company which will leave a positive, enthusiastic impression.
  • Greet the interview appropriately as per the time of the day and walk out gently and maintain composure till you step outside their campus. You will be under evaluation till the time you step outside their working premises.
Below are the Questions to ask employer
The questions that are asked to the interviewer at the end of the interview are also considered to be a part of the closing process. By offering to ask a question back to him, the interviewer is trying to address any queries that might be there in your mind about the company’s way of operations or future projects. Some of the questions that can be asked are:
  • What is the next step in the hiring process?
  • What are the challenges specific to this job?
  • How is feedback provided on job performance?
  • How would I be trained or introduced to the job? 
  • Are there facilities for employees’ educational growth?
  • Do you have an Employee Training Program? Can you describe it?
  • What are the areas of performance for the person in this position?
  • Can you describe the formal performance review process in your company?

Make Your Resume A Breath of Fresh Air

 As a job seeker, it’s easy to see hiring managers as big, bad obstacles that need to be overcome. They’re the gatekeepers, after all. But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Tit...

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks.
