Final takeaways
The interview process can be long and time consuming. Interviewing requires energy and focus, but it can be incredibly rewarding.
Even if you don’t end up taking a new position at the end of an interview process, it can be a great learning experience. You might discover strengths you didn’t know you had, gain clarity on your job preferences, or even learn how to refine your non-verbal communication skills.
We recommend maintaining the relationships you’ve worked hard to build during the interview process too. A simple thank you email to your interviewers within 24 hours of the interview is a great way to show your appreciation and stay top of mind. Leaving a good impression can even open the door for future opportunities.
Remember to be yourself, to be professional, and to celebrate the little victories along the way – whether that be securing an interview, moving forward in the interview process, or receiving an offer.
You’ve got this.
