“Before You Can Be Successful, You Need To Know What Failure Looks Like

One of today’s best job search experts, Liz Ryan, described what failure looks like for a job seeker:

The worst -- and most common -- interview mistake you can make is to be a forgettable applicant, and to leave the building without leaving any impression whatsoever on your interviewer.

Managers are busy. They are overloaded with information the same way we all are. If you don't make your mark in your job interview, all traces of you will have left your manager's memory before you get home.

Many job seekers believe they should just sit there, respond to a hiring manager’s questions and then ask one or two questions at the end.

That is a recipe for failure.”
