How to gracefully exit from
the interview is another

00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:06.209
important step to consider.
The interviewer will let you

00:00:06.244 --> 00:00:09.041
know either verbally (such as
Thank you for your interest

00:00:09.076 --> 00:00:12.007
in our organization) or
nonverbally (such as getting

00:00:12.042 --> 00:00:14.686
up and walking to the door)
that the interview is ending.

00:00:14.721 --> 00:00:18.151
A job offer does not usually
come during the first interview,

00:00:18.186 --> 00:00:21.996
so do not expect an offer.
If a job offer is extended to

00:00:22.031 --> 00:00:24.744
you, do not jump at it or
reject it immediately.

00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:27.180
The interviewer will expect
that you need time to

00:00:27.215 --> 00:00:28.153
make a decision.

00:00:28.188 --> 00:00:30.990
You should express your
interest in the company and

00:00:31.025 --> 00:00:33.174
thank the interviewer by name
for their time.

00:00:33.209 --> 00:00:36.601
If you have not discussed it
already, ask the interviewer

00:00:36.636 --> 00:00:39.290
what the next step in the
interview process will be and

00:00:39.325 --> 00:00:41.794
when you will find out about
the company's decision.

00:00:41.829 --> 00:00:45.145
Make a prompt exit, but do not
appear to be overly anxious

00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:46.257
to leave.

00:00:46.292 --> 00:00:48.871
Be sure to say farewell to the
secretary also.

00:00:48.906 --> 00:00:52.984
After you walk out the door,
take a deep breath and relax!
