6 signs of a successful interview

1. Talk about the prospects for further development

If the interviewer tells you about the tasks facing the company, and he himself suggests how they can solve them with your help, this is very valuable. Especially if the emphasis is just on the features of your personal professional experience.
2. Interest in your job opportunities

If the interviewer is interested in whether you have already been interviewed in other companies, have already made any suggestions to you, this indicates his desire to find out what are his chances of getting you as an employee. This also includes the question "How soon can you get to work?"
3. The interview lasts longer than expected

Interviews with applicants for the position of an employee of the company adjust to the work schedule between other scheduled meetings. If the interview is quick, this indicates that the candidate is either not the one or completely his own (the second rarely happens). If the interview lasts longer than planned, this clearly plays in your favor.
4. The interviewer is interested in having recommendations.

Usually, it doesn’t come to recommendations until you are specifically interested. Therefore, you can regard this issue as a positive sign.
5. You are provided with a clear time frame.

If the interviewer finishes the interview and says exactly when they should call you back, and in some cases clearly indicates how soon the completed test task will be expected from you, this is a good sign.
6. Acquaintance with other employees

Be sure that everything is going well if the interviewer starts introducing you to people who were not supposed to be present at the interview and who are responsible for making decisions.


If you were not invited to work after a seemingly successful interview, this does not always indicate a lack of competencies. Sometimes the candidates are too good for an open position. And in order to more accurately analyze the success of the interview, Work.ua advises paying attention also to signs of an unsuccessful interview.
