1. Thank the Interviewer
I cannot stress this enough. Irrespective of how the interview goes, please thank the individual/board for their time and patience.
People always remember this gesture.
If you could go one step forward, and thank everyone by his or her name, it would be really nice.
2. Thank the secretary/coordinator
Always a good idea. This is the person who will screen calls when you call to follow up. she is also the person who will be the first to know who got selected.
Keep her smiling for that immediate response.
3. Keep a Journal
Gone are the days when you would not sit for more than 2 or 3 interviews in your life. Now you are probably going to do this once in every 2-3 years.
Keep a Journal.
Write everything down. What were the questions, what were your answers. What was the reaction of the interviewer.
What could you change
What should you keep doing
Always refer your journal before going for an interview.
Take Charge
