Seal the Deal

You’re in your most professional looking outfit. You’ve done the firm handshake and the ‘thank you for meeting with me.’ You’ve answered all of their questions and gotten some answers of your own. But now you feel the interview coming to an end. What do you do to in those last few minutes with the hiring manager? What do you do to seal the deal?

Those are the questions Alexandra Levit posed in her blog post How to Close the Deal in a Job Interview. Her short list of bulleted tips might just give you that extra oomph needed to get one step closer to securing the job. Check them out:

 

 

  • Express enthusiasm about the position and appreciation for the time they’ve given you and the opportunity to interview.
  •  

  • Reiterate the problems they’re looking for the new hire to solve, and summarize exactly what you’ll do to address them.
  •  

  • Ask thoughtful and pertinent questions about the organization and the position to show that you are concerned about fit as much as they are.
  •  

  • Ask about next steps and when you should expect to hear from them regarding a decision. Inquire if they would mind if you followed up.
  •  

  • When leaving, drop in something personal the interviewer has shared with you over the course of the process. For example, if he mentioned his 9 year-old daughter, tell him you hope his daughter enjoys her summer.
