For Job Seekers / A Bill Of Rights

If there was such a thing as a job-hunter’s Bill of Rights, this is the mandate it would deliver to hiring managers.

1. Tell us what to expect. Let candidates know whether the interview will be one-on-one or in front of a panel; who they will be meeting with; whether there will be any skills tests; and if it will take longer than 45 minutes.

2. Be as prepared as we are. There’s no need to Google our family histories or read every article we’ve published, but reading a candidate’s resume before the interview is common courtesy.

3. Show respect. Start by dressing appropriately.

4. Stick to appropriate topics.

5. Be forthright about salary.

6. Follow up.

7. Do unto others.
