You Can Never Be Late:
Incorrect. You can be late if you call ahead and offer context (e.g., traffic, family event). Just don’t arrive late without an explanation.
Keep Your Answers Short and Sweet:
While brevity is good, overly short answers may convey disinterest or lack of understanding. If you need more words to give a killer answer, use them.
Always Dress to Impress:
Corporate culture is evolving, and dress codes are becoming more laid-back. Know your audience, but remember that a shower is never a bad idea.
The Most Qualified Person Gets the Job:
Sadly, this isn’t always true. Sometimes the most-connected person or the candidate interviewed later gets the job due to the “recency effect.”
Don’t Research Ahead of Time:
Research the company, its business model, and what employees share on LinkedIn.
The Interviewer Will Always Be Prepared:
Recruiters juggle multiple tasks. They might be running in from another interview, so be prepared.
The Interviewer Always Knows If You’re Telling the Truth:
While honesty is crucial, recruiters can’t always tell. Be genuine but avoid fabricating information.
Remember, preparation and authenticity are key to acing interviews! 😊
