Words of Blunder

A recent New York Post article called Words of Blunder highlights common errors job seekers make.

We have certainly heard these stories first hand. We have had clients say that although the candidate looked good on paper, swearing, badmouthing former employers, and being too informal cost them the job. On the subject of informality, one client felt that since the candidate was leaning back in his chair, he wasn’t fully engaged in the interview.

While we don’t wish to offend our candidates that are aware of these basic courtesies of the interview process – and many of them are already holding jobs of significant responsibility – perhaps it doesn’t “go without saying” that you need to sit up straight and give the interviewer your full attention.
