Evaluate Your Interview Performance

The interview is over. You must learn to review your own performance so that you can learn from the experience. Use this opportunity to be objective about the situation. 

Emotionally, one of the most helpful things you can do is to let go of your self-recriminations by venting. After the interview, go to your car, or stop at a cafe, and write about what just happened. 
Let your thoughts pour out. When finished, put the writing away, and let go. Sleep on it and when you’ve had a chance to relax, go back and revisit what you wrote. What can you learn from this experience?

Sending out more applications doesn’t increase your chances of getting hired. Sending out better applications does. Employers say as many as 75% of applicants for a given role aren’t actually qualified to do it.

Here are three ways to elevate your job applications to the top of the list:

  • Only apply for jobs that you actually qualify for.
  • Explain how you can stand out on the job. 
  • Tailor your resume to the job that you’re applying to.
