The job market is competitive and it is indeed challenging to get an ideal job. Many people have been striving hard to search for jobs and attend numerous interviews, but they fail. There are many factors that contribute to the failure. In this article, I am going to share with you a few things which the job seekers must not tell the interviewers.
� During the interview sessions, it is true that you need to be honest in providing your personal details to the interviewers. However, if the interviewers ask you about your previous employers, what should you answer? Please bear in mind that no matter how bad your relationship is with your ex-bosses, you should not talk bad about them. It is not wise to criticize your previous employers in front of your potential new employers. Most of the interviewers normally want to know the reason you quit. It is advisable for you to give one standard reason, i.e. seeking for change.
� Seriously speaking, when the economy is down, many people are forced to look for part-time jobs. Their monthly income from the full-time jobs is not sufficient for them to pay off their debts. If you also have part-time job, you are reminded not to tell the interviewers. Never ever include this in your resume too. Although it is not wrong for you to have odd jobs, in the point of view of the employers, they may have doubts on your commitment and loyalty. What you need to do is to be professional. If you manage to secure a full-time job, you need to make sure that you only do your part-time work after office hours.
� Everyone loves vacation. You may have plans to go for holidays in the near future. You are reminded not to tell the interviewers so early. You don't need to inform the potential employers that you are travelling overseas with your family for holidays during year end. If you do so, you may give an impression to the interviewers that you prefer something fun rather than focusing on your work.
� Is it necessary for you to tell the interviewers about your financial status? In my personal opinion, it is not necessary for you to declare to the interviewers that you have poor credit history because people may have different perception on you. Unless the interviewers insist that you need to declare your credit rating if you want to obtain the job. If not, you had better not to mention anything about your credit score.
By going through the points stated above, I hope you can be smarter in attending interviews.
