Finally, the job interview is over! After all that preparation, you made it through with flying colors! Or perhaps the colors aren’t exactly flying, but hey, it’s good experience, right?

What do you do now? Well, there will be some waiting involved. It is unlikely that the hiring manager made an immediate decision and they may not be finished interviewing other applicants.

So how many times have you already relived your interview answers in your head while waiting? This will only drive you crazy as you discover flaws that the interviewer probably didn’t even notice.

Instead, stay busy. Continue your job search. Put the interview to the side for now and look into other opportunities, unless you truly feel that a bit of information you gave needs to be corrected.

So when would you want to offer clarification? Perhaps you applied for a job that requires driving a company vehicle. If you couldn’t remember how many traffic violations are on your driving record, than later realized you have less than you reported, you should tell them.

Small omissions, such as forgetting to tell them about a certain sale, should probably just be let go. They are very busy people and once the interview is over it is unlikely that they have time for each applicant to keep calling with unsolicited additions.

If you don’t receive a job offer from this interview, don’t sweat it. Just stay busy and keep up your job search. Each interview is an opportunity to practice and improve your interview skills, which will help you on the next one.

There may be questions you think you should have answered differently. Great - now that you know this, use this as an opportunity to prepare for the next one - you’ll do better and better each time, so give yourself a pat on the back!
