How Not To Interview (I dare you not to laugh)

It seems I rarely make an entry that doesn’t fall in the “Interviewing” category. I’ve been living in this world of interviewing for so many years that I easily veer toward over-communicating about the importance of “the interview” within the hiring process.
Interviewing is a serious issue. Which is why I think it’s healthy for us to take a look at the funny side of interviewing every now and then. I found a cool lil’ video called “How Not to Interview,” and posted it on my blog today. This thing is funny – kudos to the folks at workaustin.com. What’s even funnier is that I’ve seen real-life examples that accurately reflect some of the craziness in this video.
You’ll laugh when you see the guy answer his cellphone during the interview and you’ll say, “Surely nobody is that dumb.” Oh really?

Ok, enough suspense – check out the video HERE.
After you’ve laughed a bit, check out Alison Doyle’s “Top 10 Interview Blunders” HERE.
She offers up solid advice about what to do/not do, and provides links to the following interview resources:

Good luck, and don’t forget….cellphones off! 🙂
