Advice on How to Wrap Up an Interview
Even though interviews might be nerve-wracking, it is best to leave on a high note. To help you confidently wrap up your interview, here are three pointers:
I. Pose a Question
Do not forget to ask any remaining questions you may have about the firm, the position, or the interview itself before the meeting comes to a close. Taking the initiative to do so will demonstrate to the interviewer that you are enthusiastic about the position and want to learn more about it. It is also a good chance to elaborate on anything that was unclear over the course of the interview.
2) Show your appreciation
Be sure to end the interview by expressing gratitude to your interviewer for their time and consideration. This is not only the courteous thing to do, but it also demonstrates that you respect the time and work the interviewer has put into finding the right candidate for the job. It is amazing how much of an impact a simple “thank you for your time” can make.
3. Leave on a high note
When it comes time to wrap up the interview, it is a good idea to briefly recap your qualifications and express your enthusiasm for the role. This will assist the interviewer to remember you favourably and consider you a formidable contender. In your closing remarks, reiterate your interest in the position and your want to move forward with the hiring process.
