Randy’s Career Tips

Almost everyone that goes into an interview gets nervous.�But what if you’re not nervous?�What if you sit down and find instant rapport with the person doing the interview?�There is one mistake you must avoid!�Don’t put your old job down.

�

Maybe you and the interviewer have similar backgrounds, you come from the same home town, or you both like the same sports team.�Soon, you’re talking like best friends.�You barely talk about the job you’re applying for.�But eventually you do.�And since you think the interviewer “knows where you’re coming from” you proceed to talk about all the problems at your job.

�

You tell them that the company is tight with the benefits, or that they favor the wrong people.�There could be a lot of problems with your job, or just one or two.�But you should never talk about them.�The good impression you made at the beginning of your interview could, and probably will, turn sour very quickly.

�

If you are willing to talk about the bad things at your current job, you’ll probably be willing to do the same about the job you’re applying for.�That’s the impression the interviewer will get.

�

The interviewer is going to want to know why you want to leave your current position.�Be prepared for that type of question.�Give a positive answer.�If you want to leave your current job because of issues that you feel are holding you back, focus on your desire to grow in your career.�Don’t present yourself as trying to leave a bad situation.�Instead you should focus on what you want your future to be.
