Never reveal these 9 personal information during a job interview

I talked to someone in a way that I often talked to others. I asked them about the current life (we were the same age) and they asked me about the job. Since then, I interviewed thousands of job applicants. They were in a difficult situation because with the common wisdom of a person in a job search position, they were told to ask for the job during the interview. In fact, that's one of the worst things they did.

Many candidates feel anxious during job interviews. However, this will make us start talking rambling about personal life - information that should not have appeared in a business-related talk.

No employer wants to know how "scary" details are related to how you left your most recent job. They don't need to know who is living with you or how you pay for your daily living expenses without getting a job. Although this may make the interviewer sympathetic, this is not a good idea if you want to get into their "blue eyes".

The following are 9 personal information that will never be actively shared in the interview . However, it should be noted that if asked, you still have to provide the employer.

1. Financial information

During the interview, the candidates were very easy to disclose their difficult financial situation. However, this does not help you get the job and even, it can hurt you. I fully understand if you are proud of how you have overcome difficulties when living with a low income but you need to remember that it is not related to the financial situation of the employer.

2. Relationship

Many candidates often explain their current situation by telling the story behind their job search, such as: "I moved to Atlanta with my husband in 2013 but after that, he was "I lost my job and we lived on my income. We divorced last summer around the time I was fired."

Many people will sympathize with your difficult situation but your personal life is not the ideal topic to put in a job interview.

Except for the fact that there are a few people who have the opposite view, generally speaking, referring to problems in relationships can make you lose the chance to get the job because many people may think "We don't need you to bring a play here." So keep that story to yourself.

3. Legal issues

There is no reason to express your discomfort with the law or any other legal issues."I'm being sued by my old partner but I'm sure I will prevail" - this is not the way to build your confidence in the employer's mindset.

4. Sickness, disease

If you have had a period of time off work because of illness or injury, you do not need to disclose it during an interview for a new job. You could say that you took a year off because of personal problems and didn't need to go too deeply into the details.

In fact, the resume is available for you to list your current health status and you have had time to read the job description or learn the relevant information to verify. whether I fit that position. If you have a health problem, the employer still has an interview with you, which means they are attracted to your true ability. Focus on that instead of trying to describe your pitiful situation.

5. Planning for marriage and marriage

Some employers often prefer to recruit women who are not pregnant or have strict requirements for female candidates on the issue of children. Although it is difficult to accept, you must grasp this to control your interview. Find out about the company in advance and decide whether to mention the birth plan.

6. Things you are not satisfied from the old company

Things that make you unhappy with your old boss, split friends between employees, even if there is a bit of a strange happening at your old company, can create an attractive movie or comic book . However, they are not something you should mention in a job interview. You can say "I am ready for a new mission" . No matter how friendly or sympathetic the employer is, it is best not to proactively say anything that makes you feel uncomfortable with your previous job.

7. Religion

Unless there are definite reasons like which employer wants to know which religion you follow to see if you are suitable for a corporate culture, the rest, you should not mention or have any views. Which relates to religion.

8. Political views

Politics as well as religion. These are two issues that should not be mentioned in the workplace, not just in the interview.

9. Activities beyond work can be controlled

Interests and personal activities outside of work are always two topics that almost everyone is excited to say. However, if an applicant shares too much about what is usually done in his spare time , especially if he or she can spend a lot of time and energy, he or she may be dissatisfied.

In the first interview, the employer could not understand whether you could balance work and personal life, or more accurately, they did not have enough data to evaluate it. If you can control all the activities that take place outside the office without affecting your work, it's best not to share.

How to avoid "rambling" in the interview?

Before the interview, find a quiet place to think about what you will say in the interview tomorrow. You can look in the mirror and practice , even wear the clothes you have prepared for the interview. Many people even closed the room, imagining they had just entered the interview room, shook hands with the recruiter and began visualizing what they would say. This makes them feel like they are standing in front of real employers.

Another tip is that if you see a staircase near the interview site, you can run up, run down about 3 or 4 times to make your mind relieve stress and avoid being pressured by thinking about what you are will speak. Also, before starting the interview, try to breathe deeply and you will feel a lot calmer.
