How to handle second interviews

At this stage, even the smallest details can make a difference, so your preparation needs to be even more thorough. The second interview is often a technical test, after the first interview established that you would be a good cultural fit for the company. So ask what the format of the interview will be. Whatever the format, you will need to show that you are competent and that you would work well with the existing team. And you will need to provide fuller answers to more searching questions

TIPS

•	Remember to take your CV with you.
•	Ask for the business cards of the interviewers so you can send thank-you notes after the interview.
•	Check with your recruitment consultant about expense claims if you need to travel for the interview.
