Wrap Up & Follow Through
Be sure to follow through with the interviewer! Tips on calling employers after the interview:
- Speak with the person who interviewed you
- Introduce yourself and remind the interviewer why you are calling
- If the employer is supposed to call you on a certain day, make sure you are home to receive the call
- If you are not called at the time the employer set, you should make a follow up call to him or her
- If you have arranged to call the employer back, make sure you do it on the day that you agreed upon at the interview
- Don't harass them by phoning every day
- If a decision has not yet been made, ask if you can call back and find out
- If you do not get the job, it's perfectly fine to ask why in a sincere manner
- Thank them for their time and for considering you
- Don't burn any bridges. The person they decide to hire may decline for some reason or the employer might be hiring again in the near future
- If you are offered the position, it is good to show your enthusiasm, but remember to get the following vital information:
- Salary
- Hours of work shifts, overtime, benefits, vacation
- Dress codes or uniforms
