Don’t come a half an hour early. It makes me feel pressure to finish what I’m doing. 5 minutes early is more than enough.
Don't bring your own cup of Starbucks coffee to the interview. It's not professional, and it will make me jealous that I don't have one.
Don't touch your face or twirl your hair during the interview. It's disgusting and distracting.
Don’t wait more than 24 hours after the interview to write a thank you note. It annoys me if I get it one week later. Be short and sweet, but specific.
Skip the "thank you note in the snail mail" thing. It's 2011.
If I ask you take a 10-minute writing test after we speak, take it. No matter what you have going on after, it's a huge red flag if you say you don't have time.
Don't talk about how successful your father is. I don't care, and it will make me think he's responsible for getting you all your past jobs and internships.
Don't arrive with wet hair. I'd rather you be five minutes late with dry hair.
Don't have disgusting breath. If I'm sitting across a conference room table from you and can smell it, that's a bad sign.
Don’t say "I still haven’t figured out what I want to do yet。" It makes you seem lost. You have figured out what you want to do, and it's exactly what this job is
Don't tell me that Business Insider is a great "magazine." Come on. That's just embarrassing.
When I ask you what websites and publications you read, don’t say The New York Times. Everyone reads the New York Times. Be creative.
Don’t send me a cover letter email that’s more than one paragraph long. I don't want to read about your childhood. Save the details for the interview.
Don’t attach your resume to an email and title it "Magazine Resume" or "Forbes Resume。" Seriously, come on.
If we’re at a career fair, don’t tell me how "slutty" the other candidates are dressed compared to you. True story.
If you’re interviewing for an editorial job, don’t tell me your lifelong goal is to be a designer, or a golf announcer. Why would I hire you?
Don’t come in without spending at least 20 minutes looking around the site. This goes for any publication you're interviewing at. A smart interviewer will ask you: "What are your impressions of the site?"
Don’t say you have no questions at the end of the interview. You have to at least ask ONE question, and it should be more creative than, "What's the culture like?"
Don’t ask if moving within the company is easy. That makes me think you're trying to get your foot in the door for another job, when what I care about is filling this position.
