问题     Congratulations! You wowed your prospective employers on your first interview and have been called back for an encore. So, how will the second interview be different from the first? This time around, expect to spend more time at the company, talk to more people, individually and collectively, and have your skills and personality scrutinized more closely.
    The Employer’s Point of View
    From an employer’s perspective, the second interview is a chance to closely evaluate a candidate’s abilities and interpersonal skills. Your prospective employer wants to see that you can do the job and work well with colleagues.

To show you’re a good fit with the company, focus on explaining how your abilities and experiences would enable you to do the job. Be specific. Offer concrete examples that highlight your competence and compatibility.
    Who You’ll Meet
    On your first interview, you probably met with one or two people. This time, be prepared to meet several more over the course of the day, including potential managers, coworkers and other staff members.
    You may meet individually with several people, who will most likely ask you similar questions. Keep your answers consistent but mix up your delivery so that your answers don’t sound stale or staged. If possible, before the interview acquire a list of the people you’ll be meeting with and do a little research on each one. Then ask questions that show your knowledge of each person, If you meet with a panel or group, be sure to make eye contact with both the individual asking the question and the group as a whole.
    Steps for Follow Up

If the feedback is consistently positive over the course of the day, you may get a job offer at the end of the interview. If that happens, don’t make a hasty decision. Ask for time to think about it. If you don’t get an offer, be sure to immediately send a brief thank you note to every person you spoke with. Some companies make hiring decisions in a matter of days, but many can take weeks to make their final choice.
