Follow-up

1. Write a recap of the interview while it's still fresh in your mind. Answer these questions:

• Who did you meet? (names and titles)
• What does the job entail?
• What are the immediate projects/biggest challenges?
• Why can you do the job?
• What aspects of the interview went poorly? Why?
• What are the positives/negatives/questions/concerns/considerations?
• What is the next step?

2. Remember, it is not always the most qualified person who gets the job; rather, the person who prepares and interviews best for the job.

3. Contact your recruiter after the interview. Immediate feedback will help to speed up the hiring process.

4. Always write a thank you letter by the following day. Reinforce your desire for the position and thank them for their time.
