Interview Blunders
As if you did not have enough trouble with bosses – it all starts at the interview or interview.
Little things for little minds. It’s like a dietitian who is rigidly following what she or he was taught by their teachers who were rigid in themselves following what might have been the accepted dogma in 1912.
Try to explain anything or have a discussion about your health ( or in this case of a job interview concerns leading to your future mental health ), and voila its like you are , in actuality you are dealing with a 2 year old with anal retention issues.
Lack of any depth in any discussion. If there is any knowledge its snippets taken out of context and given great weight.
It’s all very similar to what you can expect in the future- “we know”, “head office “, “we have the postmark” ……
Still if there are any mistakes that you can imitate in the interview process they might include
1) Lack of preparation – or perhaps over preparation. Rather than being seen as an asset to the firm you may well be treated as a threat to the firm or organization (specifically to the interviewer or party in power). A smart ass.
2) Dressing inappropriately – or dressing “better” or with better taste than the interviewer or boss
3) Poor communication skills – or perhaps proper communication skills. If your gut or your grandmother sends out warning signs or notes warning signs run away as fast as you possibly can. Steer a clear course of them
4) Asking too many questions. You are expected somehow to ask – if you do not ask then somehow “the book” says that this is a bad sign. However if you ask reasonable and proper questions – then instead of being seen as an asset you are seen as a problem, a troublemaker.
What a bunch of morons
