Grrrr... I'm on my soapbox [View all]
WHY IS IT that when a person goes for an interview, the following must be in order:
1) Be on time
2) Be pleasant and courteous
3) Look interviewer in the eye (but don't stare!!)
4) Dress nicely but understated (read: businesslike)
5) Ask intelligent questions (but never about salary!!)
6) Show that you have researched the company
7) List your accomplishments but don't brag
8) Have extra copies of your resume
9) If you're a woman (or man, for that matter) NEVER wear open-toe shoes
10) Make sure your hair looks presentable
11) ALWAYS write an intelligent, sincere thank you note after the interview has ended.
OK-- so why is it that if the interviewer decides you're not a good fit, he/she can't be bothered to even
let you KNOW?? No phone call. No email. Nothing. Nada. Zip. You break your neck doing the right thing
and yet you are supposed to sit back and wait to hear, but rarely do.
In other words, you're the lackey and they're the lord and they can throw you away with the rest of the
garbage if they so desire. With impunity!!
WHY IS THIS??
