Surviving an interview blunder


You’ve sent the application form to the wrong company or spilt coffee over the interviewer. If you’ve managed to avoid any of these blunders or others in your job seeking so far, you can congratulate yourself and comfortably read an article from Guardian Careers  – ‘Bouncing back from a career blunder’. Experts give advice on how to recover from mistakes made at any stage of the application and hiring process along with many examples from readers as part of a Q&A session. How do you manage having one job offer while waiting to hear from another? What do you do if you simply got the interview date wrong and missed it altogether? The article offers lots of practical advice and also blunders that do raise a smile – as long as it didn’t happen to you. A reader’s submission: “Invited to an interview with MI6. Turned up at wrong building. Couldn’t find actual building. Didn’t get job.” More at http://careers.guardian.co.uk/job-seeking-mistakes?commentpage=all
