Check out some advice that these experts provide. These interviews give you both the perspectives, of interviewee and interviewer.
Tips for following up after an interview:
Remember: Although recruiters may call to deliver a rejection, it is rare to get a rejection call from a corporate HR person. Most rejections come by email. So a phone call generally indicates that the hiring process is moving forward or it could signal a possible offer.
Have paper and pen ready to take notes. While on your jobsearch these tools should have a permanent place by the phone. If you have listed your cell phone, then consider having materials ready in specific places where you might receive a call. This includes your car.
Before accepting the call, intentionally put your emotions on hold.
Listen carefully and take notes.
Make note of the phone number and confirm it with your caller.
Reiterate the message to ensure accurate information.
Be especially clear on any action items and the timeframe.
Unless requested otherwise, immediately respond with a short note that acknowledges the email.
A follow up message is essential component to the post interview process. It gives you another opportunity to go above and beyond by promoting yourself to a possible employer. A Thank you letter is a perfect way to communicate this with the interviewer.
For example: a thank you letter can be e-mailed or in person
Guide to Salary Negotiation
•Be enthusiastic. Even if the offer is lower than you expected, an offer is an offer. Always be gracious and express excitement before you begin to discuss details.
•Unless it’s the most perfect offer ever, don’t feel the need to accept (or negotiate) right away. Even if pushed to accept, ask to review the offer in writing if you’d like more time. It’s important to be able to weigh your options and do some research on how the offer stacks up. That being said, don’t take too much time. They have a job they need to fill.
•Do use the offer call (or email) to ask about benefits in addition to salary. When you’re doing your research after the call, make sure you know a typical salary benefits range. A full-time, but hourly gig might not come with benefits, whereas some of the best companies provide benefits that end up being worth 50% of your salary. Consider your entire package.
•Speaking of the whole package – look at vacation time, moving allowance, and signing bonus. It’s not typical for entry-level employees to be offered all of these, but it’s important to know if any are not included, as you may be able to negotiate these into your offer. Plus, moving bonuses are definitely worth bringing up if you’re moving to a new city.
•Be prompt. Once you’ve researched, respond quickly. Email is your friend. It allows you to collect your thoughts, craft ideal responses and put your best foot forward during the negotiation.
•Lead with enthusiasm. You’re still interested in the job and want to make it work. Then, bring up what you want to discuss.
Discussing salary options may feel intimating, especially during the interview process. As a possible employee you should always be aware that your salary can be negotiable, unless advised otherwise.
For example: open, negotiable, competitive compensation package
