Recognizing these indicators can help alleviate anxiety about the interview outcome.

1. Signs Your Job
Interview Went Well

2. Getting invited for an interview is a cause for celebration. It could be a
chance to land that dream job, work within your passions or reach that
salary that will dramatically alter your lifestyle.

3. However, attending an interview is no guarantee that you’ll get the job.
Anyone who has ever been for a job interview will know first-hand the
terrifying anxiety and nervous excitement that follows as you await the
result. The suspense is a killer.

4. Being told that you didn’t get the job would be much easier to deal with than
your overactive mind and churning stomach at this point. If you want to put
your mind at rest, here are 6 sure signs that your interview was a success.

5. References – If your prospective employer makes contact with you after the interview
to check if it’s okay to contact your references, then you have definitely impressed.
Why else would they bother taking your application any further?

6. Same day phone call – A call back on the same day of the interview is always a
positive sign. The interviewer may want to ask a question that slipped their mind
during the interview or probe a little further into your skills and experience to
ensure alignment with the demands of the role. Whatever the reason for the call,
you’ve done enough to stand out and remain on the interviewer's mind.

7. Invite for a second interview – Cha-ching! Is there a clearer sign that your interview
went well? Being invited for a second interview means that you are being seriously
considered for the position. It is most likely a tough call between you and another
strong candidate. Keep confident. If you were good enough to impress once, then
you can ace it again.

8. Longer than expected – Your interviewer is a busy professional. Your allotted slot was
thirty minutes in an already demanding schedule. But your interview has now been
going on for over an hour and you’ve gone off on numerous tangents about everything
from previous positions held, to your shared love of exotic travel. Your experience, skills
and hobbies obviously intrigue the interviewer and you’re sure to be remembered.

9. Team introduction – If you are invited to meet the team after the interview, or at a
later date, then you have most definitely passed the screening stage. Now it’s a
question of whether your personality will mold into the existing dynamic of the group.

10. Plans for the future are discussed – If plans for the growth of the business are a
topic of conversation during the interview, it’s a good sign that they want to include
you within these plans. This is especially true if they mention your skill set being
involved in the expansion plans.

11. If you’re not sure how your interview went, hopefully these 6 signs have
allowed you to evaluate your performance and put your anxieties to rest.

12. If you have experienced any of these signs, it’s a clear indication that your
interview went well and hopefully the beginnings of a successful career.

13. Good luck!
