…elementary

10/14/2008

this seems so elementary, but one of our candidates went to the interview without a hard copy of his resume…the hiring authority didn’t have it on his desk, asked the candidate for one and the interview went down hill after that..

the hiring authority searched his computer for ten minutes… finally found it, had to print it…well, you get the message… bad interview

always, always have multiple copies of your resume with you..don’t assume the hiring authority will have one even if you emailed it…

this week one of our candidates went to his interview…he was confronted by a group of three people in the interview.. he sure looked prepared when he handed out copies of his resume to everyone that didn’t have one..

‘who’ didn’t have one, Tony.

Yes, I find it amazing some people simply ‘expect’ the HA will have their resume so they fail to see why they should bring a copy.

Sometimes they even insist they should not have to bring copies.

The Bogus "Informational Interview"

Supposedly, employers are willing to accommodate a fact-finding interview, an "informational interview", even if they do not have an open position.
