4 ways hiring managers are ruining job interviews

Being ill-prepared for an interview is a ‘thou shalt not’ for candidates, so why should those hiring get away with it?

Hiring managers are expected to be well-versed about the job role, company they’re hiring for and should command the same amount of professionalism that is required from the candidate – however, that’s not always the case.

Lisa Quast, Career Coach, Business Consultant and Organisational Trainer, wrote in Forbes about the four most common complaints that come up regarding hiring managers.

1. Unprepared for the interview. One client said: “When I sat down for my interview, the Hiring Manager dug around on his desk and, when he finally found my résumé, said, ‘OK, let me take a look at your background’ and proceeded to read it while I watched. Based on our conversation, it was obvious he hadn’t even looked at my résumé.”
