Closing - Multiple C level exec interviews

Submitted by David Finkelstein
in

I am a Chief Information Officer with experience in healthcare in transition.

 

I've been interviewing during the past few weeks, at a number of similar organizations, and have been scheduled through retained and contingency  recruiters.

Since the position is a senior management level, reporting to either the CEO or COO/CAO, I have been scheduled fo multiple interviews over multiple day/weeks at each organization.

Is it appropriate to close at each interview, knowing I will be back later that day or future days/weeks with other executives before they convene and discuss the various candidates?  It seems a bit odd to me to close with the first of 3-4 interviews in this format.

Any advice?

Mark / Mike - great job with Manager Tools - I have put your advice to work many a time and look forward to each new episode.

You want everyone you interview with to know you are interested and want an offer.

Totally appropriate.  Every time.  Have coached hundreds of execs to do the same.
Good luck!
