How do you know when an interview is sucessful?

Answer 1

The true test will be if you are hired in a job that is a good match for your interests, passions, values, and capabilities. If you land a job that provides meaningful work and a good career move.

But, if you are somewhere else in the process, if your first interview ends in a call back to a second interview, you are doing things well. Sometimes another candidate is just the overall best fit.

Answer 2

Although offering a job is a sure sign. An employer may need to interview more prospects, they will almost always give you some sure signs you've done well in the interview. Some are very open signs, like saying your a good fit for the position, you a shoe in or asking to do a background check, drug test or any other test at the end of an interview.

Some other signs would asking specifically when you would be available for a second interview or follow-up phone call. When you would be available to start, and taking your answer very seriously. Spending lots of time showing you around and introducing you to the staff. Asking the staff to tell how great the company is. Telling you lots of details about the company, during the last part of the interview. Getting serious about your references. Talking salary during the last part of the interview.

Bad Signs:
Short interview. Little concern about how to contact you in the future. Saying you lack certain skills. Saying we need to talk with more applicants. Very canned responds to company and job questions. Mentioning why this may not be where you want to work.

Interview just didn't flow very broken, no laughing or smiles. Interviewer looking stressed, toward the end of an interview.

Some ways to have a good interview:
-Look good, firm handshake, smile
-Know as much as possible about the company and position applying for
-Ask questions about the company and position
-Ask about the future of the company and your role
-Mention your positive traits and how you can help the company (organization, communication and honesty are very important to any company and everyone can have those traits)
-Say you are interested in the position and ask what is the next step to get started with the company

Good Luck,

Answer 3

At the conclusion of the interview (if you're really interested in the position), you can say "After speaking with you today, I'm very interested in the ______ position. What is the next step from here?"

The interviewer's response should give you an idea of how interested they are. Also, don't forget to follow up with a thank-you letter immediately. I wrote a thank you letter to the person hiring for the job I got and also the recruiter. (The recruiter is often the one who can keep things moving along)

If you are completely sure you do your best in the interview and you have a call in a week or less. That's a good start.
