Whether you feel your interview has gone well or you have a sinking feeling that you didn’t get the job, you need to make sure that you leave the interview on a positive note. Remember that many people have left an interview feeling they’d blown it, only to receive a phone call a few days later offering them the job. You can never be sure what the interviewer thinks of the interview, so it’s a good idea to take every opportunity to leave a positive impression.
As you are leaving the interview, thank the interviewer for his/her time, let them know you are very interested in the position, and shake hands. If the interviewer does not let you know when a further contact will be made, ask when you may call to learn of his/her decision. Also, if the employer asks you to call or return for another interview, make a written note of the date, time, and place. After thanking the interviewer and leaving the interview room, promptly leave the building, remembering to thank the receptionist/assistant on your way out. Don’t forget to send a thank you letter, it is courteous, reiterates what you can bring to the school district, and puts your name, one more time in front of their eyes.
