Interviewing Advice from Yahoo

Everyone loves top ten lists. Yahoo Hotjobs is no different, with their article “10 Ways to Ruin a Job Interview” (via @RichmondJobNet). The advice seems sound, if not a little obvious. Of course you won’t come across well if you pick your nose or bitch about the parking. I would love to see something that goes a little deeper into the interview process.

There was a time when I was a very good at interviews. I knew if I got the interview, I could get the job. I haven’t had quite as much luck lately, and I have been trying to figure out why. I think it comes down to this: there is no substitute for being a great fit for a position. With a broad work history like mine, I can often get into interviews, but I usually don’t have the specialized experience that would make me a perfect fit for the job. Of course, I still think I can be great at the it; I just need to get better at convincing the interviewer.
