How to do a Successful Interview - Online


3. After the Interview
Generally, at the end of an interview, the interview panel will outline next steps and a timeline to the process. Alternatively, this can be a question that you can ask the interviewer(s).

Dropping a thank you email is always a nice touch. This is a useful way to keep you in the minds of the interview panel, and also show that you are passionate about this role.

Follow up appropriately. In most instances, an interviewer will tell you when they will be in touch. If you are told there is a specific date that they will be contacting you, it is important that you wait until that date has passed before you make contact yourself. At that point a gentle email saying hello will do no harm. 

If you have been unsuccessful in being offered a role, it is always important to ask for feedback. This is a great opportunity to find out areas that you can improve on, and will allow you to be better prepared for the next interview.
