| Peril of Talking Too Much During the Interview |
| |
You're supposed to talk about yourself during an interview, right? Not if you talked too much about yourself, according to Joann Lublin's WSJ column that started with a quote from an employer about a candidate's 3-4 minute "long-winded" response. The assumption is that nerves make a blabbermouth of an interviewee, which leads to dangerous oversharing.
4 tips to avoid blabbing incessantly and ruining your chances of making a good impression or getting that job were: 1) Rehearse a concise answer to how your background matches the job (especially when answering the "tell me about yourself" question, 2) double check the question with the interviewer to make sure you know what you're being asked, 3) watch the other person's body language to see if you're still engaging his or her attention, and 4) ask for feedback after the interview.
