Recent research has showed that there are five don'ts that one must do in order to get the job that one aspires for.
The result in the research is published in one book called "The Essential for Hiring & Getting Hired", where almost 5,000 job seekers became the subject of the study.
The said research aims to find out the factors that influence your chance to get hired, as well as the factors that cause rejection during job interviews.
"We will be conducting a job interview this coming October 10, we hope that everyone learns from our book", author of the book Lou Adler said.
The said book covers how job process works in favor to the applicant. In the book it says that the first thing that one must do is to avoid generalities, redundant and false reassurance such as "I'm a problem solver", and "I'm a real team player". It is already proven that these kinds of answers are not working; hence interviewers will just reject them.
It is also advisable to be realistic during the interview. If someone ask you about your weakness, answer them honestly, and give a reassurance that your shortcomings will not affect the job.
"Be concise and specific as much as possible", James White, manager of New Hardware Store in New York who has interviewed applicants for five years already stated. He added that being straight to the point gives clarity to your insight. These two core value is also specified in the book, "Clarity and being straight forward".
The book also suggest to avoid asking "what's in it for me" question during the initial interview, as this lose you credibility as an applicant.
"And the last thing that one must consider during the interview is, just be yourself", Lou Adler said. Job hunters are advice to be confident and stop looking at the resume during the interview, as this will cause anxiety.
