‘Be nice’ | Why THIS mistake scuppered a candidate's job interview

Conducting a job search can be a stressful and worrying process. For example, applying for roles and not hearing back can be a cause for concern, while being offered an interview can also be a nerve-wracking experience.

Attending a job interview can cause sweaty-palms, fears of blurting out the wrong answer, not remembering an interviewer’s name and even getting lost on the way to the interview venue, all of which are enough to send anyone into a frenzy.

In fact, research by JDP previously revealed that 93% of job candidates have experienced anxiety related to their interview, with many citing not being able to answer difficult questions, not being able to address a weakness and not coming off as intended as common reasons for concern.

Despite this, it’s critical that jobseekers remain as professional as they can throughout the whole process, in order to make a good impression when meeting hiring managers.
