Question 4

Face-to-face interview

Process

Answer 4

If you’ve had a face-to-face interview, you’ll use a stepwise follow-up process.

1. The minute you get home, write down your notes and questions about the interview before you have a chance to forget them. Who were the interviewers? Write down each person’s name or as much of their name as you can remember. (You can look them up on LinkedIn LNKD -2.62% later.) Write down the specific questions and concerns each interviewer had. You’re going to use those person-specific details in your personalized thank-you notes — we’ll get to those in a minute.
2. Write down your own observations and questions, too. You’re going to post-mortem the interview in a conversation with a friend you trust. Make sure you jot down anything you want to cover with your friend. When you’re on a job search, it’s easy to be dazzled by the positive attention you’re getting and fall into the vortex. A smart and cynical friend will keep you grounded.
3. Get some blank notecards and write a handwritten note to each person you met on the interview. If you think a handwritten note is too formal and old-fashioned for today’s job search world, all I can tell you is that we hear from hiring managers every day who tell us that a well-written and thoughtful thank-you note was the deciding factor between two capable candidates. You were well brought up, right? Do your parents proud and send off those thank-you notes.

Enjoy your week,

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me yesterday about the Digital Content Strategist position. It was a great pleasure meeting you both, and I truly enjoyed leaning more about the role and the company.

In addition, I am a quick learner and have many other skills that can be of benefit to your team.

I look forward to the opportunity of meeting the rest of your team and would greatly appreciate a follow-up as you move forward with the hiring process.
