WRONG
In the additive manufacturing industry, companies have often had bad
experiences with their hiring processes, having candidates that are
disengaged and eventually fall out of the recruitment process. Therefor,
showing your engagement is alpha omega if you really want that job

Do you know someone on the inside? Now might be the time to utilize that contact!
Ask a reference to reach out to the recruiter or hiring manager via LinkedIn (or in
person) to drop a note praising you.
The note should be simple and could sound like this:
"I hear that John Johnson is interviewing with you. I'd just like to say that he would be
a strong asset to your team and he is a sharp employee"

Highlight the good things of the
interview
Simply thank them for taking their time to interview you, and
try to highlight your favorite parts of the interview: how you see
yourself in the company, the management style, how you find
the job attractive, etc.
This shows that you also listened and afterwards reflected on
the interview AND it helps you determine if the company is the
right fit for you

Follow-up response to
interview question
If you draw a blank on an interview question, this is the time for
you to modify or amplify a response!
The note could read: "When you asked me about my biggest
career achievement, I apologize that I drew a blank. The
moment I walked out the door, I realized that I should have
mentioned ..."

Include documentation that
illustrates your ability to do the job
Carefully select one or two "pieces of evidence" that show that
you are the right person for that job! For example, press
mentions, analysis, reports, etc.
Show them, that you can do the job

Now that you've had a feeling of what the company wants from you,
from the first interview, it's time to leverage that knowledge and use it
to prepare for the next interview.
In this industry, the need for talent is urgent, so when a company starts
recruiting, they mean business and they want you to start asap.
Therefor you should be prepared to be called in tomorrow.
Prepare as soon as possible. And make sure you dig deep to find
something most people do not know about the company. E.g. a
milestone, an award, or another defining moment.
