What To Say At The End Of An Interview

Maybe you have flown through the interview answering all of the questions perfectly.

Have made a strong connection with the manager and have good rapport.

Now to close it up professionally.

Why?

Just like a movie or play, people tend to remember the beginning and ending the most.

Even if you have performed well, if you end on bad note, that is what the interviewer will walk away with.

So use these simple statements to close on a strong note whether you are doing it through video conference or in person.

1. The Simple Close

2. The I Am A Good Hire close

3. The Confident Pro – When you know this is the right job for you
I am really excited about the role and your company. I am confident this is the job that I want. What are the next steps?

As always when it comes to interviews – you should always read the room and have a strong feeling of your performance before using these.

While they are solid closes to an interview you always want to be yourself. If they don’t feel like something you would say, then I would recommend you craft your own, or reach out to us to craft your personalized interview strategy plan.
