WHAT DOES A SECOND INTERVIEW MEAN?
– It means the employer is very interested in hiring you. They will have a shortlist of candidates who they invite back for a second interview – and you are one of them.
– Treat it as seriously as you did the first interview.
– You still need to perform!
DOES A SECOND INTERVIEW MEAN I GOT THE JOB?
– No, it is not a foregone conclusion that you have got the job if they invite you back for a second interview.
– I have used second interviews to reaffirm the person I am thinking of hiring is the right person for the job.
– A second interview is a great sign, but don’t take things for granted.
– The interviewer may ask another person from their company to be with them at the interview for a second opinion.
SECOND INTERVIEW TIPS – HOW TO PASS YOUR 2ND JOB INTERVIEW!
– Be positive and enthusiastic about the position. Show that you want this job!
– Be professional; dress to impress and show that you are someone who works to high standards.
– Thank the interviewer for giving you the opportunity for a second interview.
– Your responses to the interview questions should detailed and specific. Give as much evidence as possible!
– If you can build a rapport with the interviewer, this is a good thing.
– If they invite you to take a look around their premises, look enthusiastic and have some questions ready to ask. Say hello to people in the workplace who already work there as you walk around.
