How to End an Interview on a Positive Note
What should you do to end the interview on a positive note?
Shaking hands with the interviewer and asking directly if you will be hired may come across as pushy and may not leave a positive impression. Instead, it is recommended to express appreciation for the opportunity to interview and reiterate your interest in the position. You can mention specific points from the interview that resonated with you and highlight your qualifications and enthusiasm for the role. Asking more closing questions about salary during the handshake may be seen as premature and could give the impression that your main focus is on compensation rather than the job itself. It is advisable to address salary and benefits discussions at a later stage in the hiring process. A more appropriate approach to end the interview on a positive note would be to express gratitude for the interviewer's time and consideration, ask about the next steps in the selection process, and request a business card or contact information for follow-up purposes. This demonstrates professionalism and a genuine interest in the opportunity.
