3 Common Mistakes Job Seekers Make

Please do not make these mistakes that most job seekers make!

1. BEING UNPREPARED
Being unprepared for interviews, career fairs and poorly presented resumes.

Instead: Plan ahead and make sure you are on top of everything from the clothes you will wear to pinpointing the location and having reliable transportation.

2. SHARING TOO MUCH
Sharing too much or getting too comfortable in an interview.

Instead: It is great to get friendly with interviewers to create that connection. BUT exposing yourself will ruin everything. It's great to let your interviewer know who you are but you must always remember to remain professional at all times. Sharing information about the crazy party you went to the night before and your hangover that you now have should definitely be left for your friends.

3. MISREPRESENTATION
Misrepresenting yourself on your résumé or in the interview.

Instead: Make yourself look good but make sure you are not lying. If you do not measure up to what you put down on ink at the interview, you will automatically be dismissed from possibly getting the job and it is very unprofessional and don't think that you will get another chance with that company.
