Beware the Friendly Interview

If that interview is going great – don’t get too comfortable...

My last boss was an IDIOT! That’s one of the things we’re NOT supposed to say on an interview, according to CareerBuilder. It might seem obvious – but a good interviewer can put us at ease – and it’s important not to get too comfortable. Here are some other things to keep in mind if you do hit it off:

• Save the drink invite for AFTER you get the job.

• Unless you’re pursuing a career as a Rabbi or Congressman – avoid religion and politics.

• Don’t let your weaknesses show. You are there to sell yourself – and it’s easy to let your guard down once you get friendly.

• Stick to the interviewer’s name. Buddy, Honey and Man are WAY too casual.
