[HW Staffing Solutions](https://blog.hwstaffing.com/author/hw-staffing-solutions) ![](https://blog.hwstaffing.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/HW-How-To-Know-Your-Interview-Went-Well.jpg) You know that feeling—you bounce out of the interview room with confidence! You know it went well, though you can’t quite put your finger on why. You just feel good about the whole job interview and you’re pretty sure you got the job. Or that you at least impressed them. But there’s always that doubt that seeps in, that makes you question whether it really did go well. But you don’t have to wonder anymore. Here are seven telltale signs that you got the job. ## Did My Interview Go Well? ### **1. Your interviewer had fun** If you sense that you interviewer enjoyed the conversation and had a good time, genuinely smiling, nodding, and making good eye contact, you can be pretty sure the interviewer went well. You may have even gone over your allotted time, too caught up in conversation to note the time. ### **2. You earned a tour** If you got a tour after your meeting, it’s a pretty good indication that they’re pretty interested in you, that they’re considering you, want you to know more about the company, and want to impress you. ### **3. They were selling you** If they spent interview time trying to prove that they’re the company for you, bragging about benefits, exciting perks, and some of their recent achievements, its probably means they’re hoping you accept when they send an offer your way. They’re doing everything they can to try to impress you. ### **4. They asked for your references** Hiring managers don’t usually ask for references if they’re not even going to call them, so consider it a good sign if they ask for yours. It means you’ve already made it to the next round and they’re looking for ways to separate the very top candidates from the rest. If they mentioned a background check, that’s even better! Those are expensive, so they’ll only run those on their favorite candidates. ### **5. The goodbye was sentimental** Did the goodbye take longer than usual? Maybe it seemed like they were lingering, savoring every last bit of conversation. It means they already feel comfortable with you and they’re trying to make sure you leave on the absolute best of terms. ### **6. Follow-up is very clear** If they’re very upfront and specific about the next steps in the process, that’s a very good sign. If they’re vague or generic, it means you’re probably not getting called for another interview. But if they say exactly when you’ll hear back or who will be calling you, it means they’re probably sincere and you can expect some sort of good news. Make sure you leave them with the best way to contact you and pick up the phone when you see their number on the caller ID! ### **7. You get a call back** If you get called back for a second or third interview, good news—it means they like you! Stay on your game. Dress appropriately, prepare, and be engaging, enthusiastic, and confident all over again!
