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!

The Changing World of Interviewing

With the price of gas and travel skyrocketing, many companies are cutting back on the number of face-to-face job interviews that they conduct. Instead, companies are resorting to alternate interviewing strategies that include multiple phone interviews, videoconferencing interviews and yes, even virtual interviews (check out Second Life) —how cool is that!!!! 

This means that job candidates must adapt to these new format in order to remain competitive. I came across an article that discusses how to approach and successfully manage these new interviewing formats.

Just remember to keep those wings and halos to a minimum during your next virtual interview!!!!

Until next time…
