Job Interview Questions

In addition to a thank-you letter, consider leaving the recruiter better off for having interviewed you. You can enlarge the recruiter’s territory-and perhaps put yourself in his or her debt-by taking one or more of these steps:

• If you know of one, recommend another good candidate for the job.
• If you can offer some other relationship like a sales lead, do it.
• If you know of a new Web site or job board, alert the recruiter.
• Send an article or Web link you think the recruiter might find helpful.
• If nothing else, ask if there is anything you can do to help the recruiter or his or her company.

Remember, vision is good, but it doesn’t get you anywhere unless you combine it with action and a questioning attitude. Listen more than you speak and every venture will bear fruit. Good luck with job search.
