Should I Bring My Resume to an Interview?
Should I Bring My Resume to an Interview?Should I bring my resume to an interview? This is a question that many people have. And, if you're wondering if your resume should be read, chances are it will be. But, as you can imagine, what will be on your resume will be up to the employer, but there are some things that should be avoided.If you are self-conscious about your physique or body language, you should probably not wear a swimsuit to an interview. Many employers feel that people who are underweight will be less confident, and they don't want to hire people who are not confident in their appearance. So, the same thing applies when it comes to putting yourself out there.For example, if you like wearing your glasses, the company that is interviewing you may ask you to take them off so you won't look so hard. Even if you think that you look fine without your glasses, you still need to know the guidelines. In other words, even if you think that you are pretty, if you aren't up for wea ring your glasses at the interview, don't do it.And, of course, you should also avoid saying things like 'I'm okay' when you are really not. As one interviewer once said, it is very important to say you are not okay when you are really not okay. Remember, even if you are okay, your boss or interviewer might see something wrong with you, and then she/he will find something wrong with you, and the cycle will repeat itself.Be honest when you are interviewed, but remember that they are not trying to be cruel. They are just trying to help you, and know that it's okay to ask a question if you don't understand something. You should make sure that you don't say anything that will hurt the interviewee or get them fired, so avoid those types of lines.Another thing to avoid at an interview is saying things that will sound like you are just out for revenge or that you would just rather win than be there. There is nothing wrong with wanting to win, and if you are asked a question about how your resume could improve your chances of winning, answer honestly and don't say anything that will hurt the interviewee. But, again, don't go over the top with something like, 'If you fire me, I'll show up at your place of employment with my resume to show I was the winner.'Keep in mind that while many people say they want to win, and some say they don't, the right tone is usually just honesty. So, avoid being sarcastic, and always ask what would help in winning and not to lose.The most important thing to remember is that your resume should be read. But, don't let other factors influence you when it comes to whether or not you should bring your resume to an interview.
