Hi All,
Please have a look at the following article.
By Caroline Levchuck (From Yahoo Hotjobs)
Your job interview has been going great, and it's coming to a close. The final few minutes are crucial. You don't want to blow it by saying the wrong thing on your way out the door. To leave a good impression with the interviewer, your final words and gestures should be enthusiastic and confident.
It's All in the Delivery
Are you unsure how to close a job interview? Take your cue from the interviewer. During the interview, pay attention not only to what the interviewer says but also to how she says it. Notice her body language, tone of voice, and level of formality. Then tailor your closing remarks accordingly.
But, no matter how the interviewer behaves, always be confident. Look her in the eye when speaking. Thank her by name and firmly shake her hand when saying goodbye.
Accentuate the Positive
Use the final few minutes of your job interview to emphasize the skills that make you right for the job. This will ensure that your strengths will be one of the last things that the interviewer hears -- helping her to remember them. Rehearse your closing so that you are not fumbling over your words. You'll want to sound smooth and natural, not boastful. Start by saying how impressed you are with the company and the people you've met. Then transition into why you'd be a good fit for the position.
End Notes
You should end your job interview on an enthusiastic, but not aggressive, note. Reiterate your interest in the job, but try not to sound anxious or desperate. Instead, express how exciting and challenging you think the role would be -- and what a good fit you'd be for it. Finally, ask the interviewer if there's anything else you can do to show your strengths as a candidate. For example, you can offer to send samples of your work if appropriate.
The Next Step
Don't leave a job interview without knowing the next step in the hiring process. For example, will the company be calling candidates back for another round of interviews? Are they planning to check references? When do they anticipate that a hiring decision will be made? You may also want to ask the recruiter how he would prefer you to follow up with him. Can you call him on the phone, or would he rather that you email him? Not only will this information help reduce post-interview anxiety, it also shows the interviewer that you're thorough and conscientious.

A personal tip from shoOOonya ....
After the Interview ...
Sit down and try to re-live the interview.
Write down the questions and the answers you gave.
Analyze the answers.
Did you do proper justice to the question?
Did you answer the question fully?
Was the interviewer satisfied?
Make a note of all these.
Write down your learnings from the interview.
Your observations of the process.
Your observations of other candidates.
AND THEN FORGET THE INTERVIEW and the COMPANY.
Do not keep the company in your mind and keep thinking about it.
Do not make it the center of your life for the next couple of days/weeks, etc.
Just forget it and go on with life. Other interviews. Career planning.
When the next interview with some other company comes, review your notes and your learnings from all previous interviews and make it a better one. Each interview is not only your chance to enter the corporate world but also a learning experience.
And yes, wherever you go for an interview, be friendly with the other candidates, network with them, try to keep in touch. Email is a very good way to keep in touch.
All the Best!

Hi Sridhar,
I am really tired of seeing the same articles posted in CiteHR that are also being posted in Yahoo Groups. I find that many Yahoo Groups articles are also posted here. Instead, please post some articles that you find on a few other websites or write something of your own. I believe most of the members are also part of Yahoo Groups.
All the best for your new search! 😛

Hi,
I guess this site is a more permanent reference source than a Yahoo Group. A Yahoo Group is only meant for its users, whereas this site is accessible to all.
Yahoo Groups are slowly losing their grounds due to a lot of junk mails they bring in along with useful mail. Also, all members of CiteHr may not be part of the particular Yahoo group that had the article posted.
Thanks, Sridhar, for sharing the article. Would like to see more. A small suggestion maybe... just search some keywords from the article you plan to post to ensure that the article is not already posted. This would prevent duplication and repetition. In case of original articles... well... no chance of that, so you are welcome. ;-)

The fact is I am observing that many are posting articles already posted in Yahoo Groups. In fact, a few of mine, too :P
In the long run, it will lead to duplication of articles on CiteHR, and no one will have the patience to check whether a particular article has already been posted on CiteHR.
Let me not compare Yahoo Groups with CiteHR; perception differs!!

Hi Sridhar,
These tips would be of help, not only to the freshers but also to the technically sound individuals who pay very little attention to how they conduct themselves in the interview and conclude it.
Thanks for the tips.

Dear Pramod,
Yes, I agree with you that perception differs. But as "Shoonya" said, we should not assume all the members of CiteHR are part of YahooGroups as well. In my perception, it doesn't matter whether the source is from YahooGroups or any other platform; what truly matters is what we are contributing to our friends in CiteHR and how it can be useful to others. I feel that most people in CiteHR agree (assuming) with me.
What I have found out is that we (assuming only I and you) are also part of the same Yahoo group, and we share a common interest.
Best Wishes,
Sridhar
