The simple things bring down most interviews
After the long memorial day weekend I found myself without a topic in which to blog about so to try and break the writers block I was reviewing many of the recruiting/career blogs that I frequent for some interesting topics in which to play off of in my article, and wouldn’t you know I found something here.
In a survey about interviewing etiquette Valut.com goes through many questions about how people approach and handle interviewing and while you can pick it apart and read a lot into the information my big take away is that most people either don’t care enough to prepare for the interview or enough after to ensure that they are one of the primary targets of the hiring official.
So remember to do the little things: do your company/industry research, dress appropriately, show up on time, don’t pick your nose (or answer your cell), and don’t forget to send a thank you note (emailing it is ok).

Maybe they just don't know how to show that they care. No one taught them how to behave in a formal situation.
Anyway, thanks for the link!
