Realize that hiring managers today are looking for results, not years.
Many hiring managers ask everyone who has interacted with a candidate — from administrative staff to members of their department — for feedback on the prospective employee.
If you show up to the interview dressed sloppily, even if the firm is known for its laid-back atmosphere, the hiring manager may question your professionalism or interest in the opportunity.
A rambling note wastes the hiring manager's time, and it can suggest that you lack the confidence of conciseness.
But if you're looking to transition to a new industry or position, and the hiring manager won't understand acronyms or jargon from your last job, remember to replace that lingo with a strong keyword.
Sending a cover letter or resume filled with grammatical mistakes and typographical errors shows hiring managers you don't care about the quality of your work and probably not about the job, either.
True, job interviews are rife with opportunities for you to embarrass yourself, but hiring managers are more forgiving than you might think.
The more quantitative, the easier for a screener or hiring manager to understand and select them for the next discussion.
You have to provide just enough information to pique the recruiter's or hiring manager's interest in learning more about you.
Most hiring managers will answer this question truthfully, and it’ll give you a chance to assuage their fears.
