After an interview, it’s natural to wonder how it went. Instead of focusing on potential mistakes, look for these positive signs:
1. You’re invited for a second interview – A clear sign of interest.
2. The interviewer asks for references – They’re seriously considering you.
3. They ask about your interest in the job – They want to gauge your commitment.
4. You meet other decision-makers – They want more opinions on you.
5. The interview lasts longer than expected – They’re keen to learn more.
6. They give you contact details – Encouraging questions shows openness.
7. You’re told when you’ll hear back – Indicates you’re being considered.
8. Positive body language – Smiles and eye contact signal engagement.
9. You click with the interviewer – Good rapport suggests a strong fit.
10. They talk about company culture – They’re picturing you on the team.
While none of these signs guarantee that you'll get the job, if you notice several of them, it's likely that the interview went well. Even if you don't spot these signs, use the experience as a learning opportunity for future interviews.
