Too many people make the mistake of revealing too much personal information once they become comfortable during the interview process. To follow are true cases where too much wrong or impertinent information was reveled during the interview which ultimately cost the candidate the job:
-Bringing up the trials and tribulations of my divorce during the interview.
-Pulling out a complete portfolio of your dog’s photos to share with the hiring authority.
-Sharing your pregnancy details and morning sickness ailments with the hiring authority.
-Talking about last weekends drinking party.
-Discussing up your zodiac sign and talking about how it relates to the position you’re applying for.
-Calling the hiring authorities “honey” or “sweetie” during an interview.
Stay focused on your accomplishments and achievements. There will be plenty of time to share personal facts AFTER you start!!
