There's a theory out there that you can split workers into two general categories based on their aptitudes: hunters or farmers.

Hunters are competitive with themselves and other and love the "thrill of the chase" when they work. They do best in roles where they can convert leads from cold to hot and showcase their ability to close many deals.

Farmers tend to be focused on quality and nurturing relationships over competition. They tend to perform best in a role where the focus is growing and maintaining client or customer relationships by provided a good quality of service.

Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. Which do you think you are: a hunter or a farmer?

Heads up! You could be asked this question in an interview, so take a shot at preparing your answer in the comments. :)

After an interview, many struggle with the question: Should I follow up? And if you decide to follow up, the idea of how you follow up can be paralyzing. There are simply too many options!

If this describes you, here's a quick way to ensure you follow up easily and more often.

1. Follow up via email - no need for a handwritten letter or card!
2. Thank them quickly - you don't need to write anything long or involved.
3. Stop selling yourself - this could come off as desperate and put undue pressure on the interviewer.
4. Mention what you enjoyed about the interview - pick something specific from your conversation, namely a high point.
5. Reach out within 1 day - meaning within 24 hours from when you interviewed.

Here's a good start to work from:

Hi Jon,

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me yesterday. I really enjoyed our chat about the ways my role would interact with yours and would be excited to move forward with Acme in the future.

Hope to hear back from you soon, Jane

Could it really be that simple?

Absolutely! Keeping it simple doesn't overwhelm your hiring manager, lets them know you enjoyed meeting them, and that you're excited about the job...and that's really all you need to say to make a great impression!

Imagine you're writing a thank you note to your last interviewer. What would you say?
