Employer Perspective: Interviewing Blunders
|
By: Lorie Davis '98M
CareeerBuilder.com released its annual survey of the most outrageous interview mistakes that candidates have made. According to over 3,000 hiring managers and HR professionals this list includes the following:
- Candidate answered cell phone and asked the interviewer to leave her own office because it was a "private" conversation.
- Candidate told the interviewer he wouldn't be able to stay with the job long because he thought he might get an inheritance if his uncle died - and his uncle "wasn't looking too good."
- Candidate asked the interviewer for a ride home after the interview.
- Candidate told the interviewer he was fired for beating up his last boss.
- When applicant was offered food before the interview he declined, saying that he didn't want to line his stomach with grease before going out drinking.
- Candidate flushed the toilet while talking to the interviewer during a phone interview.
- Candidate took out a hair brush and brushed her hair mid-interview.
I realize that our SHIP alumni would not make these off the wall mistakes, however, there are other common mistakes that you make during an interview and you might not be aware you are making them. First, hiring mangers cited dressing inappropriately as one of the most damaging mistakes as well as speaking negatively about a current or previous employer. Other mistakes hiring managers indicate that candidates make include: appearing arrogant, not providing specific answers and not asking good questions.
If you need assistance with interviewing and would find it helpful to have a practice interview, please contact
alumni@ship.edu or 717-477-1218 so you don't make any of these detrimental interviewing mistakes.
