Take Note

It's a good idea to make some quick notes about the interview as soon as you can. Doing so will help you remember key points you made as well as items you'd like to clarify with the employer. It can also help you prepare for future interviews by allowing you to evaluate your answers to the questions asked and perhaps think of more effective ways to answer them in the future. You'll want to take down as much of the following information as you remember after the interview:

• Who did you meet (names and titles)?
• Why can you do the job?
• What does the job entail?
• What went poorly? Why? Did you neglect to discuss key qualifications/skills?
• What are the first projects you want to tackle?
• What is the next step in the selection process?
• What skills/experience was the interviewer visibly impressed by?
