How to Ace a Job Interview: Pre Interview


Very Important! Full disclosure on all aspects of your personal and employment history - U-4 and U-5 issues, bankruptcy, open or closed lawsuits, fired for cause (if you were terminated for low production you will have fired for cause on your record), DWI, DUI, arrest record, etc. Many of these issues become non-issues if they are addressed early in the process. Provide this information to your recruiter or hiring official prior to submitting your resume

 

Very Important! Provide complete and detailed information on your resume - short jobs stints, periods out of work, accurate dates and performance numbers. Hiring officials have access to very detailed information regarding all aspects of your personal and professional history. Your resume must be totally accurate. In today's job market full disclosure is absolutely critical.

 

Never be negative. Do not complain about your current employer, previous employer, personal life or personal issues. Hiring officials will automatically view you as a management problem.

Please take all initial job interviews lightly. Although we will do our best to keep you informed and get you an interview we can make no guarantees. Positions fill quickly or they can drag out for months. Do not get too excited about any opportunity until you are actively interviewing.
