Don't Do These Things If You Want to Get Hired

Posted by on December 17, 2008 · 1 Comment 

My new Twitter buddy, PRjobs (aka Lindsay Olson), has written a nice primer over at PRNewser about why people don’t get hired for jobs they want. It really applies to any industry, but Lindsay is a PR headhunter, so it’s focused on our industry.

The tips in a nutshell:

  • Don’t let your ego hang out there
  • Focusing on the job title rather than the job
  • Being too concerned with pay too early in the process
  • Bad-mouthing a previous employer
