How to Get an Interviewer to Call You After a Job Interview to Land the Job


  • This is a little off topic but in today's employment environment there are 3 critical steps that must be taken 100% of the time to successful land any job. Unfortunately, more often than not these simple steps are not taken.

    1) It doesn't matter weather the position is for a janitor or an engineer you must take the time to figure out what is important to the employer.

    2) You must be prepared for the unexpected when it comes to questions and general conversation.

    3) You will be amazed because once you have done your homework your stress levels will drop and your confidence will rise. This will put you in the front runners position no matter what the experience level of the other applicants.

    You should always dress according to the employers style. If it's a casual position/employer then dress casual, if it's a strictly professional position/employer then your attire should be professional. More importantly you should always no matter casual or professional error on the conservative side....never over do it or wear extremely bright colors.

    Employers hire those that respond to questions effectively and appear confident over experience the majority of the time.

    This can almost guarantee your success with any job....

  • hey,

    First things first - make sure you go in a smart suit as first impressions count no matter what sort of job it is... also.... make sure your shoes are clean ( you would be surprised how many people notice when they are dirty)

    research into the company from the website so you know all about the company and the role on offer

    shake the interviewers hand, take notes as this looks profressional

    'sell' yourself - make sure you know your skills and the personality you have for the job. if you are a junior, make sure that you tell the interviewer you are hard working, enthusiastic, dedicated and loyal etc...

    ask some good questions and make sure you have good answers for the interviewers questions

    thank the inteviewer for seeing you, make sure they know you are keen on the role and ask when you are likely to hear backMake sure also that you are at least ten mins early as it shows good organisational skills and bring a spare copy of your CV/Resumegood luck!!!
