article on that topic. Submitting Handwritten notes are also a great
idea.

3. START PREPARING FOR A SECOND ROUND INTERVIEW
Regardless of how you think the first interview went, it’s never too
early to get ready for the next one. Find interesting information on
the campaign and candidate (articles or accomplishments not listed
on the website) and think of ways to work it into conversation.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

weeks, don’t call them after a week. Do exactly what they ask.
Sometimes employers intentionally request odd follow-up tasks in
order to make sure you are good at following instructions. It’s all
part of the interview process.
