Don’t fancy reading? Watch the video below!
SIGN #1 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if you were in the interview for longer than expected.
The truth is, the majority of hiring managers will cut an interview short if they get an indication early on that they are not going to hire you.
It’s pointless them wasting their time and yours if they realize at the start of the interview you are not going to be a good fit for their team.
So, if you have been in the interview for a lengthy period of time, it’s a good sign!
SIGN #2 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if you had a GOOD RAPPORT with the interviewer.
If you felt the interview was conversational, and you had a connection with the interviewer, it is generally a sign that things have gone well.
Also, if the interviewer smiled a lot during the interview, it’s generally a good indication that they see you as a potential match for their team.
SIGN #3 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if they introduce you to the team, or they talk about the team during the interview.
An interviewer will only usually introduce a candidate to their team if they are serious about hiring them. Afterall, if the interview has not gone well, why would they bother wasting their time, your time, and their teams time if you are not a good fit for the role!
So, if you got introduced to the team, it’s a good sign!

SIGN #4 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if they answer any questions you asked at the end of the interview in detail!
Picture the scene – it’s the end of the interview and they say to you, do you have any questions for us?
You ask several questions but they don’t really answer them fully. This usually means they don’t have the time to answer your questions properly because they want to move on to the next candidate.
However, if they have taken their time to answer your questions in detail, it could be a sign you’re about to get hired!
SIGN #5 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if they ask you about any holidays or time off you have coming up.
Whilst this is definitely a positive indication the hiring manager is seriously considering you for the position, it can also put them off if you have lots of holiday coming up soon.
They generally ask this question because they want someone to get up and running in the role quickly!
SIGN #6 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if they ask you the ‘SALARY EXPECTATIONS’ question!
An interviewer will only usually ask a candidate what their salary expectations are if they are seriously considering taking them on in the role.
The salary expectations question is more of a negotiation and it’s pointless them asking you this question if they aren’t interested in hiring you!
SIGN #7 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if they tell you in detail what you will be doing in the role!
An interviewer that tells a candidate what THEY will be doing in the position has clearly visualized them in the role!
If they say to you… “you will be expected to do XYZ in this role”, as opposed to “the successful candidate will be expected to do XYZ in this role” then it’s generally a positive sign they are thinking about hiring you!
SIGN #8 THAT AN INTERVIEW HAS GONE WELL is if they ask you about your availability and when you can start.
If an interviewer asks what notice period you have to give, or if they ask when you can start work, it is definitely a positive sign they want to offer you the job!
