The interview portion of the job hiring journey is the most important and most nerve-wracking part of the process. Unfortunately, many make big mistakes at this point and say things that many recruiters or hiring managers view as automatic disqualifications. Greg Giangrande, career advice expert, talked to Mendte in the Morning about the things you should avoid saying when in an interview.
“Saying things like your last boss was a jerk probably will get you disqualified,” Giangrande told host Larry Mendte. “Anything that’s negative or demonstrates you haven’t researched the company… that’s not going to help you.”
Giangrande thinks preparation is the key to a great interview: “You absolutely should prepare ahead of time how you are going to tell the story of what you do at your current job, what are your experiences related to this job, why you want to work for the company, and why you are interested in that industry… but you shouldn’t repeat them as if they’ve been rehearsed.”
