You may believe that you don’t have to do anything after you consultant interview is over…
you have given the interview for the post and you can now emit a sigh of relief!
Loosen up! Enjoy yourself a bit!

2. What could I do differently if I could do it again?
- Do you think you concluded your answers properly?
- Could you’ve smiled more?

3. Did I do enough preparation?
- Did you know the answers for the questions?
- Did you have enough background knowledge about the post?
