Keeping track
The International Career Institute’s Ms Mae says it is also important to do a little interview admin.
“If you’re going through a series of interviews, you should keep track of what transpired: who interviewed you, what questions were asked and what you have learned from the interview in general,” says Ms Mae.
“Writing these down will help you assess and reassess your performance. “
Also, do send an email ‘thank you’ letter to the person who interviewed you. This is a good move to follow up on your application and remind the interviewer of your interest. Do the same even if you failed to make it.
