If an offer of employment is not made after a second or third interview, it is safe to assume an offer will not be made.

Question 2

Small talk made during the warm up stage of the interview is as important as the structured questions asked during the question and answer stage of the interview.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: If no job offer is made, the interview team may not have reached a decision yet, but you may tactfully ask when you can expect to know the decision.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Studies suggest that many interviewers make up their minds within the first 20 seconds of contact with a candidate. Don't let your guard down if the interviewer engages in what feels like small talk; these exchanges are every bit as important as structured questions.
