Life hack: what to do after the interview to increase the chances of success
Miscellaneous / / May 11, 2021
An easy way to stand out from other candidates.
If you have already passed the interview, the company is interesting to you and there are good chances of getting into it for work, you can remind yourself of yourself by writing a letter to the recruiter after the meeting. This practice has already taken root abroad - they call such letters followups (follow-up), but has not yet taken root in Russia.
It is worth sending such an appeal if you are not applying for a mass position such as a sales assistant or a waiter. In this case, employers are looking at too many candidates and the letter is easily lost among job applications.
In such a letter you can:
- Write words of gratitude. It is better to start the letter with them. Say you were delighted to have the opportunity to learn more about the position and the company. Don't make this part too long - a couple of sentences are enough.
- Show motivation. List the thesis, what you like the vacancy, and note why you are interested in this job.
- Ask questions. If something was not discussed with the employer initially, it is just possible to fix it in the follow-up.
- Indicate information that you forgot to report. For example, a relevant experience that you didn't mention during your interview. And as confirmation, you can send links to successful projects or a presentation with accurate data, if they are not confidential.
- Fix test task. If during the interview you realized that you did something wrong, write about it in the letter and attach the modified version.
- Clarify when to wait for a response. At the end of the letter, ask the employer when he will decide on your candidacy.
You can show interest in working for a particular company even before the interview and even before considering your resume. This can be done by the service “I want to work for you!"From hh.ru.
Choose the company you like, go to its page and click the "I want to work here" button. Your resume will go to a special folder of the employer and will be stored there indefinitely - until you decide to close it yourself. In addition, it will be highlighted with a colored marker - such a resume will definitely be noticed.
