Pat yourself on the back and take a deep breath - you just survived the job interview! It probably wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be. Or, if you are fretting over stumbling over one or two answers - relax. You probably did better than you think.

By now you may already be wondering when the phone will ring. When will they make a decision? Unfortunately, the waiting game, for some, can be almost as nerve wracking as preparing for the interview.

While waiting, try not to drive yourself nuts going over your interview questions again and again in your head. Unless you actually gave misinformation that needs to be corrected, there is no point in torturing yourself.

Instead, stay busy. Continue your job search. Put the interview to the side for now and look into other opportunities, unless you truly feel that a bit of information you gave needs to be corrected.

So when would you want to offer clarification? Perhaps you applied for a job that requires driving a company vehicle. If you couldn’t remember how many traffic violations are on your driving record, than later realized you have less than you reported, you should tell them.

So when would you not want to bother the interviewer with additional information? Perhaps you were quoting sales results and made a small underestimation. This could simply be left alone.

If you did not get the job, don’t punish yourself for it. Most of the time, another candidate was simply more qualified. Think of every interview as valuable experience that will help you on the next one. Each time you will get more and more confident at interviews.

If you really feel that you could have answered an interview question better, use this as an opportunity to improve before the next one. Practice makes perfect!
