Default CA Grooming: Six Tips how not to Sabotage your Job Hunt

1. If you don't get along with a potential boss during an interview, you
never will.

Clicking with your would-be boss is essential. If you notice during an
interview that you and this person don't 'get' each other, don't think
that will change once you start working there. Use the interview to
explore whether your prospective boss is interested in what you have to
say and understands what's important to you in your career before you
accept the offer.

2. If you don't have a good rapport with prospective co-workers, you
never will.

If you sense there's a problem with someone you'll be working with,
listen to what your intuition is telling you. Working relationships with
people you don't like will only get harder as the time you spend with
them increases.

3. Stop worrying about being selected.

Easier said than done, of course, especially if you've been out of work
for a while and the bills are piling up. But wanting to be chosen by an
employer sometimes makes us talk ourselves into a situation we may not
have taken if we were thinking more clearly. This is a recipe for
disaster.

4. Decide what you want first.

Make a list of what's most important to you before going into an
interview. Is your workspace a priority? Then ask to see it before you
make a decision. Do you want to work from 9 to 5? Be sure to ask your
future boss and colleagues what their typical hours are. If they arrive
at work at 7 a.m. and leave at 8 p.m., don't kid yourself into thinking
you can do otherwise.

Knowing what you want ahead of time gives you the chance to ask the
right questions and find out whether the job is really for you.

5. Don't sell out.

It's fine -- in fact, often unavoidable -- to take a job because you
need the check. But if you know it's not the right position, make a
timetable for moving on, and then stick to it.

Be ready to start job hunting again when your self-imposed deadline
draws near. This time, since you're already working, take a slower, more
methodical approach.

6. Be yourself.

We all want to put our best foot forward in interviews, of course, but
it's possible to take that too far. Letting interviewers see 'the real
you' is the only way to figure out whether you'll be accepted for who
you are, or not. You may fool the people interviewing you, but you'll
only be fooling yourself when you have to go in there every day and
pretend to be someone you're not.
