- come in with a giant, singing coffee stain on my shirt
- wear anything that will help my potentially male interviewer imagine me without my clothes on
- make vague statements about what I've learned, what I'm going to do, and what I've accomplished
- wear a big grey mouse costume and pummel my interviewer
- pretend that I have skills that I don't (i.e. singing well)
- make statements that I am (insert skill/quality that obviously won't help my employer)
Things to do in my next interview:
- treat myself like a brand, sell myself to the employer
- talk up my accomplishments that fit well with the company's value
- dress professionally, no low cut tops, no high hems
- have an accurate view of myself, pay attention to what people think of me
- have a great handshake
I really love this article (hopefully it appears below) about thank you notes, it gives more information that I ever thought I needed for the thank you note reply. I love writing handwritten thank you notes to my contacts, I also think it gives a personal touch and is much better than an email reply in my book.
