Interesting Interview Tips

Hey all,

So a friend of mine showed me this link the other day that I found very fascinating (and quite accurate, I might add).

In this article, the Wall Street Journal gives a thorough run-down of the do’s and don’ts in the interview world, an especially poignant article given the times. Some things that stuck in my mind were: don’t appear desperate (e.g. don’t show up to your interview any more or less than 10 minutes before hand), be confident in your skills, don’t complain about your financial/job situation (leave your anxiety and your baggage at home), and make sure that you customize yourself (e.g. be specific with your stories, and make yourself memorable).

Anyway, those were just the few that stuck out in my mind. Check out the article for the rest!
