Build rapport with interviewers

與面試官保持融洽關係

Rapport is a friendly relationship in which the people involved understand each other's ideas and communicate well with each other.
Building rapport begins with the very first interaction you have with the company's staff by phone, email, or video conference. It's important to use a professional tone in the email you write, expressing your interest in the job. But it's also important to be polite and friendly. Expressing appreciation for being considered and having the potential opportunity to interview is one way to build rapport.

During Interview

During the second half of an interview, the interviewer will ask if you have any questions for them. It's important to have some questions prepared to ask at this point.

What is the biggest challenge I might face coming into this role and how would I be expected to meet that challenge?
What would you say is the best part about working for this company?
What is a typical day like for [an analyst]?
What is the potential for growth in this role?

After Interview

It's nice to send a follow-up email a day or two after your in-person interview. It's also a good idea to mention something specific from your interview in this email. It shows that you were actively engaged in the conversation.
