Interview turn-offs

28.jpg

The most difficult part of sitting in the hot seat during an interview is knowing when to strike a balance. When asked to describe a previous job experience, do you go into detail, and if so, how much detail?

Hiring managers say that rambling too much will hurt your chances of getting a job. Instead, focus on talking about skills that you picked up in school or pervious job experiences, or qualities you inherently possess, that you can use in the job you are being interviewed for. Also, show your personality and your enthusiasm for the job and the company (this is where all the pre-interview research you did about the hospital will come in handy) but at the same time, don’t be too energetic or animated because that will come across as fake, which is a turn-off as well.
