You meet the same people on the way down that you stepped on, on your way up.&rdquo;<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Job interviews can be an un-nerving experience for job applicants.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As the interviewer, you have a professional and moral obligation to follow-up on every interview you conduct in a timely fashion&hellip;.. even if the follow-up is a rejection.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the person made it past your initial screening to the interview stage, I have to assume they have something going for them. Using Durante&rsquo;s wisdom, the person you interviewed may be a future client, the daughter of an existing client, or might even be your boss some day! Your interviewee might even be participating in ratings.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t leave your candidate waiting in the lobby for your appointment. Be prompt and courteous. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; At the conclusion of every interview it is imperative that you let the applicant know exactly what to expect next, and when to expect it. Whether the next step be an offer, a second interview or a rejection, it should be made perfectly clear when the applicant should expect to hear from you.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the next step is a rejection, have the intestinal fortitude to talk directly to the candidate. Do not send an email, leave voice-mail or mail a form letter.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the applicant is rejected, be honest and forthcoming as to why you selected another candidate. Your candor about the interview or the candidate could be a positive and life-changing experience for the applicant.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Remember, you meet the same people on the way down that you met on the way up, and your observations might be a positive life-changing force for the person you just rejected.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-right: windowtext 1pt solid; padding-right: 4pt; border-top: windowtext 1pt solid; padding-left: 4pt; padding-bottom: 1pt; border-left: windowtext 1pt solid; padding-top: 1pt; border-bottom: windowtext 1pt solid\">\n<div style=\"border-right: medium none; padding-right: 0in; border-top: medium none; padding-left: 0in; padding-bottom: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; border-left: medium none; text-indent: 0.5in; padding-top: 0in; border-bottom: medium none\"><i><span style=\"color: black\"><font face=\"Arial\">If you want to recruit or build a professional advertising sales team, consider contracting the services of ENS Media Inc.
