Interview follow up

Your interview is over, and sadly you weren't offered a position. What do you do now?

Get feedback

• Contact the interviewer to ask for interview feedback. You can do this over the phone or by email.

Evaluate your own performance honestly

• Were you confident?
• How was your body language?
• Were there gaps in your skills, knowledge or experience?
• What did you do/answer well?
• What action can you take to improve your chances next time?
• Make a list of the questions you were asked particularly those you found difficult to answer. Note your responses then get feedback from a Career Counsellor. 

Don't take rejection personally

• Being rejected can be an emotional experience. Don't take this personally. The employer makes their decision based on many factors.
• Stay positive. Consider it practice, learn and improve for future interviews.

If you do feel like you have been unfairly treated you can visit the Fair Work Ombudsman.
