The Art of the Interview, Part One

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
~ Abraham Lincoln

Well, maybe not silent, but there are many a folk out there that talk too much during the job interview and by doing so shoot themselves in the foot. Unless it’s the applicant’s personality trait, talking too much is largely an applicant’s nervousness and need to prove him/herself.

So what can be done about it??? PRACTICE! The more you practice interviewing and answering basic interview questions, the less nervous you’ll be when actually interviewing for the job. And the less nervous you are, the more the specialness that is you will radiate out for the employer to connect to. And we know what that could mean: You being hired!

To your success,
Rita
