We all know that it’s hard to get a job right now, and these hiring managers are sharing the exact reasons why they rejected certain candidates.
Nailing a job interview is very difficult, even if you spend hours practicing and know all the right things to say. Sometimes you’re super confident going into the interview, but when you don’t know the answer to an important question, it makes you self-conscious for the rest of the questions. Some of the best advice I’ve seen is to try and view the whole thing as a conversation instead of an interrogation. Sure, there are lots of questions being thrown at you, but you can also ask questions of the interviewer to assess the company culture and make sure it’s the right fit for you.
Now, as these hiring managers will tell you, there are some candidates who get immediately flagged as a “no.” For example, if you’re dressed in a very inappropriate manner, like wearing a shirt with a swear word on it to the interview, there’s just no chance you’re getting through to round #2. If you whine about how you hate waking up early, or complain about your chosen career path, that’ll make the interviewer crumple your resume and toss it in the trash. And those are just some mild examples! Keep reading and have a laugh at all of the ways that job seekers are failing their interviews in hilariously shortsighted ways.
