Media Bistro is a must read in my email. It keeps me up-to-date and offers great suggestions. This topic crosses all industries, but appropriate. You can read the entire article here in detail. I’ve just listed the topics of each point. I highly recommend the article. I’m always looking for new opportunites for writing outlets. Many of these topics with the descriptions shown in the article are true. I know them and have known them, but it is always good to have a reminder. It seems when you are rushing out the door, you tend to forget one or two.
These big blunders could be the reason you didn’t get the job:
1. Be clueless about the company.
2. Talk too soon about money.
3. Be late, or worse, too early.
4. Forget copies of your resume.
5. Trash a previous employer.
6. Lack enthusiasm.
7. Not prepare questions in advance.
8. Talk too much.
9. Leave your cell phone on.
