During these tough economic times, when it is even harder than ever to secure an interview – it is absolutely essential to be discreet about which interviews you have lined up.
At ProGrad, we run a weekly assessment centre for recent University Graduates and see all too often the dangers of being open about your interviews. Your friends are very likely to be your competition within the job market – and so our recommendation is to be very careful about discussing your interviews with them!
The more people you tell about your interviews – the more likely it is that you will increase the level of interest in them. In telling your friends about opportunities, you are simply encouraging them to apply also.
Almost every week, we are seeing candidates lose out on interviews to their very own friends! Simply because they expressed their enthusiasm for the company they were seeing, and got their friends interested also!
Our recommendation is to keep every interview highly confidential, and be discreet about who you talk to about it!!
