INTERVIEW IS AN OFFICIAL FACE-TO-FACE MEETING OF MONARCHS OR OTHER IMPORTANT FIGURES.

Post by Universerjob

Your actions after the interview, however, are just as important as the prep work you did prior to the interview and your performance during the interview.

You may have impressed your interviewer during the meeting, but you need to maintain that positive image once you leave the office.

Business News Daily spoke to hiring experts to find out what you should not do both during and after the interview, as well as how you can recover if you slipped up during the interview.

now below is the list of things you avoid after interview...

1. Avoid Follow up too much

It's all right (and even expected) to follow up after the interview, but don't overwhelm your potential employer with multiple messages and phone calls. If you reach out too often, you're going to turn off the hiring manager.

"Many of us have been programmed to send thank-you notes immediately following an interview, and sometimes that's the right plan, but … be respectful of any communication parameters the interviewer may [have] set.

2. Avoid Getting too comfortable with the interviewer

You might hit it off with the hiring manager, but you should remain professional through the entire hiring process.

"Be polite, but never become too familiar," said Chavez. "Many people assume comfort early on in an attempt to build rapport, but this could put off your interviewer."

This goes for social media as well. While it's a great tool for marketing or showing your personality, it's not good for socializing with a potential hiring manager.

3. Ensure proper follow up

This is probably the most common post-interview mistake that hiring managers see. It is vital to send some form of correspondence – whether it be snail mail, email or even a phone call – thanking your interviewer for their time and effort.

"The most common mistake I see people making after the interview is not following up.

4. Be too confident

Being confident to the point of arrogance can be seriously off-putting to the interviewer. Becky Beach, design manager at Mom Beach LLC, shared a story about an applicant who went too far.

"A day after the interview, he tried to connect with me over LinkedIn with the message, 'Thanks for interviewing me yesterday. Let me know when I am able to start the position.' I decided he would not get hired after that."

Be self-assured and confident in your abilities, but remember, the ball is in the interviewer's court, and you should defer to them.

5. Overlook what you post on social media

We all saw the disaster of the would-be NASA intern who swore at a former NASA engineer on Twitter and subsequently lost her position. Avoiding posting crude, offensive or sensitive information about your interviewing process should be a rule of thumb while you're interviewing.

"Posting about the interview, especially about interviewers, can be seen as a lack of confidentially or professionalism," said Michelle Merritt, executive partner at Merrfeld Career Management.

Remain professional on social media at all times, not just while you're applying. A professional and polished online presence is important regardless of your career stage.

6. Send a generic follow-up letter

"The biggest mistake I see job seekers make is sending a generic thank-you letter," said Irina Pichura, CEO of Career Manifestations. "It's always a good idea to send something personalized as much as possible. Think about topics that came up in the interview, anything you'd like to add that you didn't get a chance to address during the interview, and emphasize your interest in the company."

Most hiring managers can spot a generic thank-you letter (and cover letter, for that matter) a mile away, so spend time and effort making your letter personal. Bring up something you discussed that isn't strictly related to your skills or the job description. For example, let's say you talked about a project you worked on in a previous position. Include a link or sample of that project in your follow-up as a nod to the discussion and a way to show off your skills.

What happens if you mess up?

Mistakes happen. Though it depends on how serious the mistake was, for the most part, if you handle minor gaffes with pure intentions and grace, you can recover.

"I haven't had anyone recover [from a mistake], but I also haven't had anyone try," said Akoma. "For example, if someone noticed an error on their thank-you letter and owned up to it quickly, I think I would still consider them. It shows accountability and a willingness to admit and correct a mistake."

Rishit Shah, a finance professional at the Tally School, recalled an applicant who accidentally sent his thank-you letter to the wrong person in the organization.

"He quickly apologized and sent the letter to the correct person," he said. "What I liked about him was that he owned up to his mistake and quickly rectified it."

But no matter what happens following a mistake, don't burn bridges.

"If you don't get the particular position, you always send a gracious follow-up to the hiring managers and/or the HR person expressing interest in future opportunities," added Akoma. "It will make a good impression and could get you considered for other opportunities."
