When The Interview Goes Bad, Even Though You Prepared
We talk a lot about preparing for the job interview here at Interview Chatter. And, even though I think we’ll all agree that preparation is the biggest factor in a successful job interview, things can still go bad no matter how well prepared you may think you are.
Here’s a great blog post I found on 8 Interview Mistakes and How To Recover. This article covers everything from forgetting the interviewer’s name to stains on your shirt.
So, prepare prepare prepare, but also be ready to recover during an interview when something doesn’t go as expected. There is no need to let a stain derail your entire interview, right?
Great read. I like the perspective and the subject. Most people comment on preparing for the interview but catching yourself in the heat of battle and recovery is a great asset to have. Not all people can do it and a great deal of the time, people compound their mistakes once they have made one in attempt to turn back time. The instances listed in the article are solid and should make some applicant’s interviews turn out better than expected.
