Each employer has a unique hiring and interview process, and preparing properly for each can make all the difference in how well your interviews go—especially so in today's competitive environment.

Qualified Candidates Make Some Common Mistakes

Thanks to the recent waves of layoffs and rescinded job offers, a lot of people are now looking for a new job in a very different job market than the one that existed just a few months ago, with more people competing for fewer jobs.

As someone who's hired hundreds and interviewed thousands of job candidates, I've seen really qualified, talented people make some common mistakes during the hiring process that often knock them out of consideration.

These mistakes are usually very fixable, and often come down to candidates just not really understanding how the hiring process works.

Real Tips from Real Hiring Managers

To help people be better job candidates, I've asked some real hiring managers and recruiters to share as much as they can to help candidates put their best foot forward during the interview and hiring process, and I'm be sharing this advice here on LinkedIn and on a blog I've launched called Career Cantina.

I recently had the chance to chat with?Torrey Lincoln, who's hired hundreds of people at companies like Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Forbes and more over the course of his career.
