<h1>Every candidate who has been invited for a job interview needs to do some objective self-assessments after the interview to determine their performance in the interview.</h1>

<p>To be honest, figuring out your performance in a job interview isn’t always easy. The desire to get the job may becloud your sense of judgment and you may not be objective enough to assess yourself as much as you should.</p>

<p>However, there are signs to show that you performed well in a job interview and that the hiring manager may consider you over others.</p>

<p>If you notice the followings during or after the job interview, be rest assured the employer is seriously considering you.</p>

<h1>4.      You get invited for a second job interview</h1>

<p>Some job interviews come in stages just to eliminate those candidates the company considers misfit for the job.

<h1>5.      They ask you when you can start</h1>

Your skillset is key to getting you the job you want.

<p>‘<em>’When would you like to resume if we eventually employ you.</em>’’ This question may suggest that you’re being considered for the job but the conditional clause in the sentence shows uncertainty.</p>

<p>However, if the question comes without the conditional clause, it shows the hiring manager is willing to know about your schedule and availability to determine when you’ll officially join the organization.</p>
