What to
Do After a Job Interview
Preparation
is the greatest advantage you can have in any interview. Here's how to prepare
thoroughly.
Research the Employer First
Before any interview, learn
about the organization — what they do, who they serve, and whether they have
any Indigenous employment commitments. Demonstrating this knowledge impresses
employers immediately.
Practice Common Questions Out Loud
•
Tell me about yourself
•
What are your greatest strengths?
•
Why do you want this job?
•
Describe a challenge you overcame
•
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Prepare Strong Examples
The best interview answers
use real stories. For each question, think of a specific situation from your
experience — paid, volunteer, or community-based — that demonstrates your
skills.
During the Interview
•
Arrive 10–15 minutes early
•
Bring copies of your resume
•
Listen carefully before answering
•
Show genuine enthusiasm and interest
•
Ask 2–3 thoughtful questions at the end
After the Interview
Send a brief thank-you email
within 24 hours. Reference something specific from the conversation and
reaffirm your interest. Very few candidates do this — it makes a lasting
impression.
