Job interview follow up: email, letter


The second or follow-up interview


Prospective employers invite candidates that they are seriously considering offering a position to offer an initial interview. More senior people than those that attended the first interview, generally conduct this kind of interview. Applicants can expect more probing questions, which in some cases can be building on from what was said at the previous interview. Employers will also expect an increase the level of preparation and on the part of a candidate. A good candidate would research further issues that were discussed earlier. They may even want to present a more detailed explanation, with more evidence, of a topic that was covered in the first interview. It would be prudent to use any information that was gained at the first interview, through discussion or observation, to your advantage.
