HOW TO HANDLE THE SECOND INTERVIEW

HOW TO HANDLE THE SECOND INTERVIEW

You rocked the first interview and followed up with a great thank you note. Now it’s time to meet the other team members- possibly the whole department for the second round.

Do you feel you have covered everything in the first interview? What do you really want this department to know about you?


Try to remember all the questions you were asked, did you tell all that you could? Now is the time to go over all your answers. PRACTICE your stories again. Add details that you may have skipped, because chances are you will be asked the same questions again.



This is the time to introduce that all important 30/60/90 day plan to demonstrate just HOW you will advance the department within that time-frame.



It's important to keep all the notes you have made from your previous interview preparation, as it will help to remind you of the most important points to reiterate during the second interview. Take another look at your job description and at all the points you made in order to


sell your sizzle.

The Department is determining if you are the best candidate.
So your challenge is to set yourself apart, show your uniqueness, let the employer know that you are a great match for the position and that YOU have what it takes to do this job.

It is important that you leave them with something to make you memorable.


And never let them see you sweat.
