Your interview will probably be with the supervisor and others in the department that has the job opening. As with your first interview, continue to communicate your qualifications and skills and what you can do for the company. The secondary interview can be time consuming, so be prepared for a long day. A typical agenda may include a tour of the facilities, interviews with department heads, and perhaps lunch. It is rare to receive a verbal offer by the end of the day.
Most employers write or telephone approximately two weeks later.
If you do receive a verbal offer, express your interest and suggest a date when you will make your decision. In any event, ask for written confirmation. A letter of appreciation should be written immediately. Sources of Additional Information Interviewing Workshops are offered on a periodic basis by the Career Development Center. See yourself as others see you by practicing interviews on videotape.
