Ideas from human resources consultant Rachelle Jayner:
· Don't close the door. Even if you don't receive an offer after interviewing, you never know what opportunities may develop. So keep the interviewer in your network. Send a polite thank-you note and stay in touch.
· Don't define yourself by rejection during a job search. Remember that recruiters are judging the match between you and the position, not judging you as a person.
· Don't expect feedback from interviewers about behavioral things such as fidgeting or interrupting. Get that feedback from practice interviews with recruiters, school career centers or professional coaches. Employers are more likely to respond with job-related reactions, such as lack of project management experience or a specific technical skill.
