It can be a good approach to ask for feedback from your interviewers if you notice they haven't contacted you promptly, which might indicate a lack of interest. Delays can be caused by various factors outside the interview itself. Getting feedback is important to improve your performance in future interviews and to learn how to answer in ways that maximize your chances of success.

If you find yourself having to chase the company after an interview, it usually isn't a positive sign. The lack of communication likely indicates they are not interested in progressing with your candidacy. However, you can still send a thoughtful message to the recruiter highlighting your skills and how they align with the company's needs. Additionally, you can ask them to keep you in mind for future openings.

Generally, when you perform well in an interview, the interviewers will push to get you to the next round. If you don't receive any reply or notification, it's likely that they are not moving forward with you. At the end of an interview, discussing next steps is a good sign, and you can often sense their level of interest. It’s a good idea to send a thank-you email after the interview, but wait at least a week before following up and continue your job search in the meantime.

Stay informed about the industry you want to work in by using ChatGPT to gain insights and check trends, news, mergers, and updates on major players. Understanding the current landscape and potential future developments will enable you to showcase your knowledge during interviews, potentially impressing the interviewers and even catching the attention of senior management.

Social media is an excellent tool for interview preparation. It helps you understand what matters to the company and its customers. Researching the competition can also be useful and might even provide material for a light-hearted comment. Understanding the audience and engagement metrics can give you valuable insights, which you can leverage not only during the interview but also in your interactions with colleagues. Additionally, if permitted, using your own social media to highlight important or special events at your company can demonstrate your enthusiasm and commitment.

You can check the company's blog for news related to your position or department. Look for milestones, awards, or special events that the company has celebrated. Additionally, keeping an eye on popular news or industry trends can provide interesting topics to discuss during your interview. As Steve Jobs once said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." Showing your knowledge and enthusiasm for the company's achievements can set you apart as a passionate and well-informed candidate.
