The Five Most Unprofessional Behaviors of Job Seekers
The Five Most Unprofessional Behaviors of Job Seekers - We know that the job market is very hot now and offers are raining on candidates. However most candidates are just collecting offers while waiting for right offer.
In their pursuit to build a successful career they evaluate various options but many times handle the whole process very unprofessionally. This leaves a very bad impression on company and even if you are not joining that company – why leave an unprofessional impression?
We have compiled here a list of five most unprofessional behaviors from candidates, which can be avoided.
(1) Not joining after accepting an offer
With the job market being hot candidates are loaded with multiple offers. There is no issue in having multiple offers – however accepting multiple offers is very unprofessional.
If you want to shop around and buy time from company before accepting offer – simply ask them for time. What is wrong in asking, “I need some time to think before I accept you offer”. Be assertive and do not come under pressure of company whose objective is see that you accept offer and join at the earliest.
(2) Not attending Interviews after accepting the schedule
Another common unprofessional behavior common these days is candidates are accepting the schedule and not attending the interviews. Nobody is forcing the company / job on candidates and they should be professional enough to say no if they have no interest in job and want another schedule.
(3) Not informing company if missing an interview
Many candidates just assume that if I am not making for interview as per schedule – nobody is getting affected. Please note all professional companies line up panel of interviewers who wait for you. Many times companies just discount the candidates who miss interviews without informing.
(4) Accepting to go for interview without understanding the job profile and then refusing at later stage
If the career is yours then responsibility to study the job profile and decide whether this is what you are looking for is also yours. No recruiter can make you understand the profile if you are not listening. So please ask for job profile in detail and make a well-informed decision on which you need not to go back.
(5) Claiming on your resume what you are not
A resume is just a paper and will not be attending the interviews on your behalf. I have seen many candidates complaining that the interviewer has just stopped the interviews midway or too soon.
On checking with interviewers we found that these candidates have misrepresented the details on resume and there is no point in talking further.
