The Most Common Interview Mistakes

The Most Common Interview Mistakes

Did you know the typical job seeker will apply to 27 companies before landing an interview?

And only 20% of applicants will move on to advanced interview rounds.

The stakes are high when you sit down in front of the interviewer.

As most readers of my newsletter know, I primarily work with professionals in mid-to-late career.?

I have done videos on mistakes older workers make in their job search, as well as when they are interviewing.

However, there are also several common mistakes made not age related.

Mistakes that are easily avoidable.

  1. Not having a comprehensive LinkedIn URL on the resume.
  2. Not being prepared.
  3. Not dressing appropriately.
  4. Either talking too much or not talking enough.
  5. Criticizing your former company or coworkers.

In this week’s video, I talk about these five mistakes in depth, and why they are costing job seekers from moving forward.
