what are the signs of aceing an interview? I think I did well, but not sure?

Question

I had a second interview yesterday. I think it went well, but I am not sure I answered his questions the way he wanted. He told me that he would be making a decision by the end of next week. He also told me that he has several great canidates including myself and the decision would be a tough one. He did mention that a few internal employees are also applying for this position. It is so draining looking for a new job. I hate rejection

Answer 1

Recruiters and manager all have different ways to give a candidate "the brush off". Sometimes Recruiters or Managers will tip their hand that you may not be as qualified by mentioning other candidates. They also might be doing that as a way to keep the upper hand knowing that they will be negoitiating an offer with you. Companies know that candidates are usually more likely to accept if they think the company has back-up options if they don't accept. Personally, I have been on interviews where I thought I aced it and I never heard back. The only way to know is if you get called. Good Luck.

Answer 2

You can ace an interview and still not get the job for a variety of reasons, including the incentive of hiring within the company.

I had a job sewn up and then heard later that they didn't have the funding approved yet. Another time I screwed up a technical interview by assuming I knew all the answers, but I ended up getting a better job when I lost that one.

If you felt that you were articulate and truthful during the interview then you probably did well. Don't worry about it, the more you interview the better you get at it and if you don't get this job it may be that you were meant for an even better position just around the corner.

Answer 3

Some companies will choose the internal employees. It a lot of competition out there. You just have to do your best during the interview process. I am going through the same thing what you are going through. But, I am not giving up though. I just a note prayer changes thing. Pray about the job. If, this a job that you want, put in Gods hands and he will bless you will something.Good Luck!

Answer 4

Recruiters and other headhunters (being one myself) will rarely give you the heads up at the end of the interview. If just to protect themselves in case someone great comes after you. This being said:
- If an interviewer goes out of his way to tell you how many great candidacies he has received, it is usually a rather bad sign (sorry...)
- At any rate, when you finish your interview, I advise you try and "close" the interviewer, with a simple question, that'd go like this: "Do you have any objections - are there any stumbling blocks when you consider my application for this job? Because if there are some, I would like to address these while I can." Something simple like that. It shows your drive and openness. It will make it easier for the interviewer to give you some honest feedback (not always easy to give honest feedback to candidates, let me tell you...).

And that way, you get a chance to address his potential reservations with regards to your application...

Good luck!

Answer 5

I been on a number of interviews, and the cheery news the interviewer gives you at the end of the interview is no indication of how well you did. You just have to wait a few days to see if you land the job. If you land the job, you've done excellent, if you didn't, then you know the interviewer gave you a line of bull.

Answer 7

The signs of aceing an interview are if they offer you a job. If you don't get the job then you didn't ace the interview. Simple.
