"It included how much he could bench': 25 employers share what applicants put on their resume that immediately disqualified them

All of these questions can make you second-guess yourself over and over, especially if you really want the gig . Well, there should be a clear line on things that aren't acceptable to include, like your Tinder profile,…

'The call was brutal': Candidate reveals interview panel's incompetence, they all get fired

Have you ever had this crushing anxiety that you shouldn't be doing the job that you're doing? That, although you're a consummate professional, really you're just a child inside of a giant robot controlling it with an off-brand controller. You fear people discovering this secret and revealing that you actually have no idea what the heck you're doing and don't deserve any of the success that has been handed to you.

'I'm still wearing a fake mustache': Former employee gets offered the interview opportunity of a lifetime by a clueless recruiter

When the opportunity is too good to pass up, don't ever let it slip through your fingers. Job interviews bring a multitude of emotions with them, but usually the main two are anxiety and excitement.

'We will contact our lawyer': Company threatens candidate with legal action after they leave a review of their interview experience

Feedback is important but usually not well received. People generally don't like hearing all of the things that they could have done better; those with overly inflated egos tend to take this especially poorly. Sure, it doesn't feel good, but most of us would take the feedback—maybe apply it, maybe not—and move on from it.

If an employer wants to charge you money for anything to do with starting your new role… it's a scam, not a job interview. You would do your best to get up and run—fast, and as far away as possible—metaphorically… but maybe also literally.
