Job Interviews

Are you making these 8 interview mistakes? Learn more Contrary to what you may think, the interview is not the place to "sell yourself." You don't even know if you want the job until you've had a chance to check out the company, ask questions, meet people and learn more about the job. Besides, you put a lot of pressure on yourself--which makes it harder to relax and be yourself. The purpose of the interview is to explore if this is a company where you want to work, if this is a job you'd enjoy and if you've got what the company is looking for. Of course you'll go into the interview well-prepared, looking your best and doing everything to put yourself in the best possible light. You do, after all, want to make the best possible impression. Read on to learn how to talk about yourself, your experience, the potential job and sensitive issues such as salary and past performance-so that you do make the best possible impression while exploring if the job is a good fit. I also cover such topics as what to expect in an interview in the U.S. and other cultures, and what you could be doing wrong.
