Send a thank you note... send through mail or drop off with the receptionist.

Also, on Monday give the person you interviewed with a call...ask them if there is any other information that they needed from you and if they have made a decision yet.

Both of these options might help you recover what you may have done bad in the interview. Cause both of these show initiative and companies love that.

Unfortuanately, I think not. I've done interviewing for production type jobs and it doesn't take much to eliminate a candidate, especially if they fail to answer job related questions. I've had job candidates say they didn't understand my question, and I would explain what I was asking and how it related to the job. If they still couldn't answer it, they were as good as eliminated. But...if they indicated a willing attitude to learn,and everything else was ok, we kept their job application on file and we have called back people for another interview for a different position. A candidate may not be a good fit for the job they applied for, but they might be perfect for a job opening coming up.
If you are getting interviews, than you are doing something right. The majority of applicants eliminate themselves from consideration by what they put on their applications or resumes. Good Luck

I think you should write a thank-you letter to the interviewer to show gratitude for allowing you to have the interview. You can reinforce your strengths and remind the interviewer how much you want the job and that you are the best candidate.

Don't worry too much about not being able to answer one of the questions. Sometimes they ask questions just to test you. One guy I know interviewed at NASA and they gave him this really difficult problem. He thought it over and said that there is no solution. That was the right answer. NASA did that on purpose to test him.

Good luck and hope you get the job.

I could go either way on that one, and I think you think so, too.
Ok, here's what I'd do. Don't wait and freak out until next week. Call him MONDAY...Hell, call him TODAY, say "I wanted to thank you for the interview, I'm still very interested in working with your company" and then stop. (This is if you get the guy on the phone). When you stop talking, then HE is forced to talk and either he gives you a concrete answer "we've filled the position" or he'll tell you something that means all is not lost.
Good luck!

Before you go on your next interview do some research...both on the company interviewing with and the type of business they do. Use the library or internet as good resources. Always send a thank you letter after the interview to stay fresh in their minds. If you get confused it might be better to ask a question back rather than just say you are confused...ask he or she to clarify...

Send a letter thanking them for the interview. State anything of importance that was missed at the meeting.

You should take the initiative and call them. The person who makes the best impression gets the job... and showing initiative and following up with them lets them know that you erally DO want it.

It increases your odds of getting the job dramatically.

send a thank you note, or email. finish the note by saying that you will be contacting him again in a few days to see if there is anything else he wants to know.
good luck!!
