You have to strike a balance. Its one thing reaching out people you have no connections and asking them questions but if you have someone in your extended network ( i.e. someone you know personally or someone who you are introduced to) then I think it is a good idea to reach out to them.

Five minutes into the interview, he admitted that he had his brother write his resume and he “kind of exaggerated” his duties. Turns out he barely did any of the things mentioned on his resume. A complete waste of my time and his.

Seems like common sense that you should know your resume inside out before going for an interview. You should go prepared with accomplishments and examples.

One question I was asked in a past interview was “tell us what you know about our company.” Good thing they had a website. And most companies today do. Also I think it’s pretty obvious but don’t use profanity in an interview, even if it’s to emphasize your *beep*ing enthusiasm 🙂

But the biggest problem I always have is with one question: why we should hire you? 😉

If you aren’t in my office ready to go at the time we arranged, how will you be different if I hire you? Also….let’s save the salary discussion for later. I’ve had a few people who wanted to talk “what’s in it for me” before we even discussed the job.

If they want the job, they’ll do these things.

She said how out of place she felt standing in line wearing a dress suit when everyone else is in jeans and shorts. It’s no wonder why so many are unemployed. If you can’t make the effort to even get the job, will you make it once you have it?
