In reply to Carole Farness.

Hey Carole,

Real indeed. Rarely do most people get a job other than to survive. This “survival mode” and your habits, however, does not mean what you do is best for you to land a job.

It doesn’t take much to understand a company. Find another place the company is located, find one problem the company is having, read an article about the company. With that information, you can talk about the company. You’ll be ahead of 95% of candidates because they can’t be bothered and more concerned about themselves.

For further help, look up a guy called Ramit Sethi. He has a free course about getting the job you want using similar methods.

Hi Joshua,
Your article has some helpful information, however let’s get real. People search for work because they need a job to survive. Yes, I’d like to spend time getting to know all about the companies I apply too and how I can best serve their needs, but come on, I don’t have all the time in the world to research in detail a company’s history. By the time I taylor a professional cover letter and resume, the job vacancy has been filled. I would think that most companies who hire know that a candidate needs to work to earn money and not because they desire to work for you for the “heck of it”.

I can add a few suggestions.

(1) The receptionist will likely be your first point of contact when you come for the interview. Treat that person with courtesy and respect. He/she may be asked to share their impression of you.
(2) Don’t wear perfume, cologne, or after-shave. What you consider a pleasant scent may be sickening or overpowering to others.
(3) If offered coffee, it’s best to politely decline. You don’t want to risk spilling it on yourself, or worse, on the interviewer.
(4) Keep your interview clothing clean and pressed, ready to wear. Polish the shoes that go with it, and make sure you have the correct socks/hoisery. Check for missing buttons and broken zippers. You don’t want to be scrambling to put together an outfit the night before your interview. Try the clothing on periodically to make sure it still fits. During an extended period of unemployment, I gained 20 pounds. 🙁

Many articles of this type tell you how to behave but now how to communicate. I’ve read so many and yours stands out by not rehashing the same common instructions. I will be passing this on to my friends.
