A job search is full of rejection. When you are seeking a new position, you will send dozens of cover letters and r\u00e9sum\u00e9s and often receive only a form letter in response\u2014or worse, no reply at all. It is mentally and emotionally draining. When you finally get a call back, you are elated. The excitement at having an interview and potential opportunity can make you as a job seeker uncritical.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A job interview is not a prospective employer doing you a favor. We often reduce an interview to a candidate trying to get a job from an employer. A more accurate\u2014and healthy\u2014understanding is that it is a mutual conversation. Candidate and employer are getting to know one another in order to ascertain if it would be a good fit for everyone involved. As an applicant, you should be evaluating a potential employer as much as they are assessing you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
