Ask anyone, and you\u2019ll get the same answer: interviews can be stressful. During an interview, you\u2019re probably spending a lot of time trying to keep yourself calm and answer all the questions to the best of your ability. You\u2019re also trying to make a connection with the person interviewing you and do an overall good job.<\/p>\n

Once the interview is over and you\u2019re a bit calmer, you may find yourself asking, \u201cHow did that go?\u201d The time spent waiting after your interview to hear back can be a little trying, especially if you\u2019re unsure how successful your performance was. And if it went well and you haven\u2019t heard back yet, you\u2019ll want to follow up. So how can you know?<\/p>\n

Important clues you had a good interview<\/h3>\n

An interview is a little bit like a first date. In other words, if it went well, you\u2019ll know<\/em>. It helps to use your intuition alongside these key signs:<\/p>\n

  1. The interview went longer than it was scheduled.<\/strong> Have you ever noticed how time flies when you\u2019re having a good conversation? If an interviewer likes you and thinks you\u2019re a good match for the job, they\u2019ll have plenty to talk to you about and vice versa. If you clicked and got along really well, this also helps enable an easy and long conversation. If you found yourself checking your watch at the end of the interview and noticed you were chatting longer than you expected, it\u2019s a sign that things went well.<\/li>\n
  2. The conversation felt natural.<\/strong> Everyone feels some jitters during an interview, especially when you want the job. But did you reach a point during the conversation that you just felt completely comfortable and at ease? Almost like you were no longer nervous and were chatting with the interviewer? Another good indication of this is positive body language from the person who interviewed you: in other words, they were nodding, smiling, leaning forward, adding to and expanding on your comments, and overall in sync with the conversation\u2026 things that happen when you\u2019re having a chat with a friend. If you leave the interview feeling like you actually kind of enjoyed yourself, that\u2019s also a good sign.<\/li>\n
  3. They wanted to learn more.<\/strong> At the end of a good interview, the interviewer may ask you some important follow-up questions. Any questions that indicate they\u2019re interested in continuing a conversation with you are good signs. These could include:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
