We’ve all experienced a job interview that didn’t go quite as planned, and while these experiences can be worth sharing for a good laugh, they also serve as a valuable lesson of what not to do.
Only 20% of applicants get asked to interview, according to Simplilearn, so candidates need to make this part of the hiring process count. Twin Employment found that nearly half of recruiters would reject a candidate who couldn’t demonstrate company knowledge, and Jobspin reports that 39% of candidates will likely lose out on a position due to their confidence level. Those hiring aren’t the only picky ones, though: A bad interview experience is enough to make 42% of job candidates decline an offer, according to data from SHL.
