Always plan your closing statement, but if you determine during
interview that
organization is looking for information that was not provided in your resume focus on these points in your closing. You should also highlight these points in
thank you letter that you send to
interviewer/s after your meeting. Plan to send a thank you letter within 24 hours of
interview. Send a thank you letter or note even when you determine a position is not right for you. The interviewer/s may become a networking contact in
future, or they may consider you for a more appropriate position with their company.
As soon as possible after
meeting, write your feelings and interpretations in a notebook for future reference, including a reminder to add or remove information from your resume. Respond to any requests made by
interviewer, for example, providing a copy of a certificate that they may require before making their final selection.
Candidates use interviews to gather first-hand information about
job and organization. This information will help you determine if this is
right opportunity at
right time. If you determine during
interview that this is not
position for you, advise
interviewer in your closing comment. They will appreciate your honesty and will be more likely to consider you for future positions.
If you are interested in
position, thank
interviewer/s and express your appreciation. End on a positive and confident note by asking
key question: "What is
next step in your selection process?"
