24 JUNE 2021 ARCADIANEWSARCHIVES.COM The title of this column may sound funny. After all, you’re looking for a new job, not a steak and baked potato, but there are lessons you can carry over from your dinner tonight to your job interview tomorrow morning. Like a dinner party, you never know who you might be introduced to when you’re searching for a job. When you go for an interview, it’s essential to be friendly to each person you meet – whether they’re the intern or the CEO. There are also three topics universally considered impolite to discuss at dinner: religion, politics and money. The same is true for job interviews. During the job hiring process, many people will review your resume and cover letter. Some you may never meet, and others you will spend hours with during the hiring process. Discussing your personal beliefs or assuming what others believe may easily lead you down the wrong path. The purpose of an interview is for your future employer to make judgments about you. They want to decide whether you would make a good fit for a particular role. In the same way that you wouldn’t want to distract them or turn them off by wearing inappropriate attire, you should also avoid the pitfall of sharing your personal views. Discussing money can also create tension. In an interview, talking about money is not recommended because you may harm your chances of receiving the highest possible salary. The saying goes that in negotiations, whoever speaks of money first is the loser. Keep this in mind, and allow the interviewer to show their cards before you do. Just like saying thank you to the host of a dinner party, it’s also important to thank the company you interviewed with. They put schedules on hold, set up meetings and sometimes have even flown an interviewee in. At a minimum, send a thank you note via email to each person you meet. Remember, not everyone at an organization may share the organization’s views, so be sensitive in how you share your personal beliefs.
