Drawing from the expert knowledge of its considerable community of corporate recruiters and hiring executives, TheLadders.com, the world’s leading $100k+ online job resource, today unveiled the "Seven Deadly Sins of Interviewing." Accessible at https://sevendeadlysins.theladders.com/, the site illuminates the seven most common job interviewing blunders and ties them to the dreaded seven deadly sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust.
Marc Cenedella, CEO of TheLadders.com, said, "Our mission is two-fold: to help job seekers move to the next level in their careers and to provide our recruiter members with highly qualified candidates. Job candidates must be aware of interview pitfalls and ensure that they are fully prepared to present their credentials to prospective employers. This site was created with real stories from our member community, and they are amazing. Many illustrate how easy it is to forget that a job interview is the time to shine and really show prospective employers what you can do for them."
Aside from the enormous educational value provided in the "Seven Deadly Sins of Interviewing" site, it also contains some interesting and humorous anecdotes, such as stories about a candidate who jostled and berated a woman on the street en route to his interview, only to find out she was the interviewer; a candidate who broke down crying during her interview and has now been married to her interviewer for 7 years, after meeting him again 6 months after the job interview; and, a well qualified candidate who had obtained so many interviews that she could not keep all of her appointments straight and asked an interviewer to remind her where she was because she couldn’t remember.
Cenedella adds, "Job seekers at every level can benefit from working on their interviewing skills. A visit to the Seven Deadly Sins site in advance of one’s next interview will ensure a much more successful experience."
