Interviewing Insights: Did Your Interview Go Well?
After returning from a job interview, the most frequently asked question by your colleagues and friends is likely to be “So how did it go.” Unfortunately, in most cases, the answers that you provide are purely speculative because the only people who really know whether your interview was successful or not is the hiring manager who interviewed you. That said, are there any telltale signs that your interview went well and that a job offer may be in your future? Peggy McKee over at the Medical Sales Recruiter blog came across an informative post that may provide some answers.
FYI, in my experience as a professional recruiter, the best indicator that a job candidate’s face-to-face was a winner, was a rapid response (usually a telephone call) from the hiring manager. Since many of you will likely not be working with a recruiter, read and learn!
Until next time…
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!
I agree with the feedback. Whenever I liked a candidate presented by the recruiter, the feedback was immediate. It was immediate especially if this was a hot position to fill and I wanted to move to the next level.
Otherwise, I would get back to the recruiter by the end of the day or next day.
I agree. Based on my own experience, if prospective interviewers/employers jump all over you, you've done well. If not, it's another story.

As a former medical sales recruiter, and currently President/CEO of a popular medical sales job board, http.//www.gorillamedicalsales.com , I always maintained that a lull of more than 24 hours from the interview in hearing from the hiring manager was not good news. Managers almost always follow-up quickly with candidates they are serious about hiring.
