Career Journal: What to Do After the Interview

By Michael DeCosta
July 30, 2012

Congratulations! You have successfully “run the gauntlet” of interviews and survived some pretty tough questions from partners who scrutinized your background as skillfully as they would have cross-examined you as a witness on the courtroom stand. You remained cool and calm throughout the sessions, never taking the bait on a few loaded questions. You positioned yourself deftly, presenting your skillset and experience as a perfect match for the role.

Feedback has been very positive both in terms of the body language you sensed during your interviews and what you confirmed in your debrief session with your “hosts.” They liked what they heard from you, and your track record impressed all. The offer is forthcoming and you are feeling pretty good. The title, the role, and the firm seem to have all the trappings you are looking for in terms of a challenging platform and opportunity to advance your career. But don't celebrate just yet ' you still have your work cut out for you.
