Job interview do's and don'ts
I was recently reading up on resumes and job interviews and I came across some helpful information on how you should and shouldn't act in a job interview. The main goal is to either land a second interview and/or get hired for the position. The number one reason individuals tend to not get a second interview is because they tell their potential boss too much information about their personal life. It's okay to discuss your goals, growth in your career in the past, and your motivations. Some other topics of conversation such as, vacations, allergies, and pets are questionable conversation pieces. As for absolute no No's...it's unsafe to discuss politics, religion, health history, name dropping, or talking about past bad experiences with bosses. I also learned that you want to leave employers wanting to know just a little bit more about you, thus, giving you an opportunity for a second interview.
