26 THANK-YOU LETTER TO THE INTERVIEWER TEMPLATE FOLLOW UP AFTER THE INTERVIEW During the interview, if you were not told when a hiring decision will be made, call to check on the status of the hiring decision after three to seven days. 1. At that time, if you learn that the decision has not been made, find out whether you are still under consideration for the job. Ask if there are any other questions the interviewer might have about your qualifications and offer to come in for another interview if necessary. Restate that you are very interested in the job. 2. If you learn that you did not get the job, try to find out why. You might also inquire whether the interviewer can think of anyone else who might be able to use someone with your abilities, either in another department or company. 3. If you are offered the job, you have to decide whether you want it. If you are not sure, thank the employer and ask if you can have some time to think about it. The employer may give you a deadline. Be prepared to make your final decision by then. Be sure to ask any other questions you might need answered to help you with the decision. 4. If you know you want the job and have all the information you need, accept the job with thanks and get the details regarding when you will start. Ask whether the employer will send a letter of confirmation, as it is best to have the offer in writing. WHO GETS HIRED? In the final analysis, employers will hire someone who has the abilities and talents to fulfill their professional needs. It is up to you to demonstrate at the interview that you are the person they want.
