一、The Key Question You Should Ask

必问的关键问题

Towards the end of your interview you should have asked the key question about what happens next. Something like “How soon will you make a decision on whom you plan to hire?” This will have given you a time frame1; you want to appear enthusiastic but not annoying. If they expect to make a decision within the next week, you need to follow up in a couple of days; for a longer time it is best to wait a week.

应聘者一定要在面试结束前询问面试官接下来的安排，比如：什么时候会给你答复。一般情况下，面试官都会给你一个时间期限，这样你就能做到心中有数。如果面试官承诺在一周之内给你答复，那你就可以在接下来的时间里耐心等待并继续跟进了。

二、Sending a Thank-You Note

发一封感谢信

One thing you should do, immediately after the interview, is sending a thank-you email or letter. Send it the same day or, at the latest, on the following day to the person or persons who interviewed you; remember to ask for business cards before you leave the interview. It is a good idea to do this even if the job doesn’t really interest you.

在面试一结束（最好在24小时之内），就要给面试官发一封感谢信或电子邮件。在你面试结束之前，记得要一张名片。之所以这样做，一方面可以表示你对面试官的感谢，使面试官提升对你的印象与好感；另一方面你可以借此机会重申一遍为什么想要这份工作。

三、Follow-up Phone Call

跟进电话

Your follow-up phone call depends on the time frame you deduced from your interview question. Let’s say five days after the interview you decide to call. Ask to speak with the person who interviewed you. You should be polite and professional, restate your interest in the position but don’t sound desperate! Ask if they need any further information .

如何打电话跟进面试结果也是一门学问。选择打电话的时机取决于我们上文提到的关键问题。如果面试官说一周之内给你答复，那么我们建议你可以选择五天之后打电话询问结果。此外，在电话中要礼貌的重申你对这份工作的渴望，但是不要用很绝望的语气。并要尽可能地提供关于自己更多的信息。
