- 8. How an interviewer judges you: • Interviewer would already have studied your resume and will ask specific questions from the resume • Dress to impress, but not to distract. Make a positive first impression. • Interviewer may ask you a tricky question which will not have a right or wrong answer. Tackle them by being thoughtful and taking your time. • Interviewer will look for confidence, enthusiasm and technical knowledge. • Interviewer will look for positivity and analytical answers rather than generic answers. Remember to use STAR. Career Services
- 9. Following Up After an Interview • Thank You Notes: ALWAYS write a thank you note. Send an e-mail the day of your interview, and write a hand-written note to put in the mail. Don’t pre-write the note. • When to follow up about the job: It depends. What did your interviewer tell you about the timeline of the hiring process? If you do not hear anything, two weeks is a fair time to send a follow up e-mail asking if the job has been filled. • Track what you learn: After your interview, write down what questions you were asked, with one thing you did well, and one thing you would improve. Use this information to practice for future interviews. Career Services
