Above all, don?t waste your time waiting for the phone to ring and definitely do not ring the interviewer immediately after the interview! You do not wish to look impatient, after all. Instead of all this waiting and wondering, you should be writing a thank you note to all involved in the interview. A thank you letter must be a well written, genuine expression of gratitude towards the company for allowing you the opportunity to take part in the interview and for making the experience a positive one. Within your thank you letter it is advisable for you to remind your possible employer that you are very much wishing to work for their organization and that you will bring services to the company that will be of great benefit. The conclusion can also allude to the fact that you are awaiting good news from them in the not too distant future. It must be perfect grammatically and have absolutely no spelling mistakes!

In the thank you letter, you can also restate the services that you can provide to the company and in what ways your services will be of benefit to the company. You must always ensure that the thank you letter is grammatically correct without any spelling mistakes.

If you do not receive any response from the interviewer after a period of two weeks it would be appropriate to send an email or call the interviewer and check the progress of their decision. If a decision about you has yet to be decided then you may ask the interviewer as to when the decision is likely to be finalized. If the decision has already been finalized and you have not been successful then it is appropriate to ask the interviewer the reason for their decision. It is a good idea to get the exact feedback from the employer that may improve your chances of success at the next interview. Any relevant recommendations from the employer will be helpful for future interviews. If you receive notification from the company that another applicant was chosen it is advisable for you to send a reply to the interviewer. Thank them again for giving you the opportunity and have them understand that you will be interested for a similar position in future should it become available.

If you are sent a letter of rejection in the mail, it is good form to send a reply thanking them for their time and for the opportunity of interview. State very clearly that you will definitely be interested for a similar position in future.

You may be called for a second interview as many organizations have these to decide between the ?finalists?. By all means, express your pleasure, in a dignified manner, at being chosen for this second interview. Enquire regarding the format of the interview and the time and place where it is to be conducted. It is also advisable to ask for the name of the interviewer and what position they hold in the company and, should the interview be arranged for a location some distance away from home, find out the best route. This way you can be sure that you will be on time.

Often in a second interview you are given an opportunity to see how the company actually works and this is an excellent time to gauge whether you will be happy working for such an organization. Observation will undeniably help you with this concern. A second thank you letter after the interview will always be appreciated. It is also an important gesture as they have gone to the effort to call you for the second time. If you are successful in the second interview then under no circumstances should you discuss rates of pay with the employer if you feel that it is too low. This will be of no benefit to you and may even result in the employer choosing another candidate for the position. It is acceptable, however, if you are selected for the job to ask questions relating to the rules and regulations of the company, their dress code and your leave conditions.
