This will show continued interest and excitement about the position while also being mindful that the decision-making process can take some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After leaving the interview (whether in-person or virtually), it is important to take a few minutes to reflect on your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask yourself: How do I feel about the job? Am I still interested? Are there any additional questions I have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Highlight key points: Make note of any specific discussions from your interviews that you would like to reference when you write thank you notes. Taking the time immediately after an interview when your conversations are still top of mind will save you a headache later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing a timely and personalized note to each person you interviewed with could be the difference between getting the job and not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best practice is to send thank you letters within two hours of your interview. This will make a larger impact and stay fresh on the interviewer\u2019s mind, however, the quality of your thank you letter is much more important than the speed. If you\u2019re unable to send a personalized email that quickly, aim to send within 24 hours after your interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to show that you\u2019ve reflected on the unique particulars of each conversation you had. Key things to include in each thank you note are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t done so already, now would be a good time to connect on LinkedIn with the person\/people you have interviewed with. Taking the time to look over the interviewer\u2019s background and connect with them reconfirms your interest in the role and company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Waiting during the selection process may be the most challenging part of interviewing. You\u2019ve done everything you can do up to this point, and all that\u2019s left is waiting to hear. Once you\u2019ve checked in with your recruiter following your interviews and they\u2019ve provided next steps\/timeline, you may still be looking for updates. If you are, have no fear! Check with your recruiter. Really, it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With your interview still fresh in your mind, now is a great time to leave an interview review on Glassdoor. Sharing your experience with future candidates and feedback helps the company provide a positive and transparent recruitment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve done everything you can do! Take a deep breath and relax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are 7 things recruiters say you should do following your next interview!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18946,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[546],"tags":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4716"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18946"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4716"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4716\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7468,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4716\/revisions\/7468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4716"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=4716"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=4716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1.
