How to Follow-Up after a Job Interview

After you complete the job interview, you will probably be so relieved that you’ll want to take a big rest break.  This certainly is a good time to pause and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.  However, don’t take too long of a breather, because there is more work to be done.  There are several action steps you should take after each interview. 

These steps include:

• Step One:   Send a Thank You Note
• Step Two:   Review Your Interview Performance
• Step Three: Harness the Power of Your References
• Step Four:   Place a Follow Up Phone Call

Each of these steps is important to further promote your candidacy for the position and to build on your interview skill set for the future.  This month, I review each of these action points and the specifics of how to complete them. 

If you haven’t done so already, review my previous four blog entries for the month of December.  You’ll find tips on how to carry out each of these post-job interview action steps. 
In the December editions of my blog, which will begin next Monday, I’ll provide more career development success tips and techniques.  Please check back this upcoming Monday.
