An interview usually lasts 40 minutes right? BUT when over 2,000 bosses were surveyed, they said they knew within the first 90 seconds if they would hire that person or not! The survey also found some other interesting facts. Below is the percentage of interviewers who said doing THIS one particular thing turned them right off to that person.

-70% indicated applicants were too fashionable or trendy (that one is interesting). -67% indicated failure to make eye contact. (makes sense to me) -55% the way the candidate dressed, acted or walked through the door. (smile people) -47% of clients who had little or no knowledge of the company. (bad, bad, bad) -38% was a tie – quality of voice and overall confidence/lack of a smile. -33% for bad posture. (sit up straight guys!!!) -26% because the handshake was too weak. (my friend needs to work on this) -21% for crossing their arms over their chest during the interview. (ya look BORED or angry)

Keep working hard everyone and stay away from getting caught up in the things interviewers hate!!
