So you’ve just walked out of your interview, you breathe a sigh of relief, kick back and relax. But be warned – the hard work isn’t over yet! Here are a few hints to help you follow up your interview like a true professional and give you the edge over your competitors:

• Ask the interviewer when they are planning to make a decision
• Thank the interviewer for their time
• Whilst you are waiting for feedback – continue with your job search.
• Write a short and polite thank you note to the employer/recruitment consultant – make sure you don’t make any spelling mistakes!
• After your interview, take some quiet time to sit and write down your thoughts regarding the interview – this will help you to analyse the interview and see where you could make improvements next time.
• Give your Recruitment Consultant a call to tell them how the interview went and take this opportunity to reiterate to them how interested you are in the role.
• Don’t panic if you don’t hear back from the employer or your Recruitment Consultant immediately.
