The following is some advice I’ve gotten from various trainings for job searches.

–        When someone says they will contact you by such and such date, do not call back and remind them of that date. Doing this can present yourself as being pushy and a nag. You may want to call back and say they have any additional questions or give an update on the topic of the interview

–        During the interview, write down each name of the person you meet in the committee

–        Take notes during the interview

–        After the interview out in the car document the following

• What went well>
• What did I say I wish I had?
• What do I wish I would have said it didn’t?
• What requirements did I meet?

–        The next time you reconnect with the interviewers is to give them a reason why you should be the one hired.

–        After the interview, send a thank you card or letter or email. Showing the email and thank you card shows that your cable of follow-through. So come prepared with the cards in your hand.

–        Three or four days later, after the interview, contact them in touch upon the topic that didn’t go well and present a better response. You might have phrases as I been thinking about our conversation, and I realized I did express myself like I wanted on XX topic, and then present your new statement. Here you might ask when we can meet again.

–        About seven days after the first interview, you might want to send some contact and said this. Want to share such and such with you on some topic that may interest them.

–        Couple of days later. There are four days later you call back and illustrate how you try to compensate for weakness.

–        Don’t give the interviewer a preprinted thank you card. Write one that is personal.

–        Send a card out the day after the interview, or maybe even give them to the receptionist else send an email on the same day after the interview.

–        Maybe make a statement in the card that could impress them.

–        During the interview, get their business card and email address.
