AFTER THE JOB INTERVIEW
Let us consider a job applicant who has experienced a successful interview. This person should never think that there remains nothing to do for him/her before the interview result is announced. In fact, most job applicants make this mistake and lose some points from point of view of the company managers."Thank you" letter is the best way to express some ideas about the company and the interview session. Every individual experiencing a job interview must write a "thank you" letter to the company after the job interview. Timing of this letter may vary according to the evaluation period given to the applicant. Swift action taken by a job applicant after the job interview could be very helpful in increasing his/her chance to be elected for the job. On the contrary, a letter can be written after some time if the evaluation period is sufficiently long.
Another good behaviour to have after the job interview is to keep in touch with the company staff. This helps improve the communication between the two pairs and can best represent the friendship attitude of the job applicant towards the company managers.
After the job interview, preparation for a possible second job interview may be considered as extra, but job applicants must not forget that their requirements may be tested more than once. A common mistake made by most job applicants is the lack of concentration after the job interview. This leads to a nervous behaviour of the job applicant and in case a second job interview is needed, the applicant feels shocked because s/he probably did not think such an obligation would occur.
One substantial action that must not be taken after the job interview is to apply for a job in another company. This distracts the applicant"s concentration about the former job and unexpected consequences can be met in case a second job interview is thought to be required.
As a result, job applicants must feel themselves in a position to have something to do after the job interview. This approach not only motivates them but also turns out to be beneficial for their future relationships.
