Youve written your resume. Youve fine tuned your cover letter. Youve completed the application. Youve lined up your references. Finally, youve been invited to an interview for a job! Interviewing for jobs can be a daunting (yet exhilarating) prospect. Like anything, you will get better with practice. However, the more practice you have in job interviews usually means youre also racking up the rejections, and no one likes to experience too much rejection. Now that youve landed an interview, whats the best way to impress the hiring official, be invited back for a second interview, and get offered the job? You need to be prepared, and, surprisingly, its incredibly important to know what not to say during an interview. One slip could mean the difference between a job offer and a rejection. With that in mind, here are the things you should never say during a job interview. How much does the job pay? As a general rule, wages and salaries are not usually discussed during a first interview. Asking about this makes you seem like you only care about money. Even if you are invited to a second or third interview, let the employer bring up the topic of money. Be prepared to tell them how much youre expecting. Give a range of what youd accept rather than a specific amount. Estimating too high or too low might automatically knock you out of the running. Its important to do your research, though. How much do other employers pay? Whats the going rate for the position? What does your company do? If you dont know what the company makes or does, why are you interviewing for them? Do your research. With the unbelievable amount of information available on the Internet and at the local library, theres absolutely no excuse for ignorance. You should walk into the interview knowing a lot about the company. I didnt get along with my old boss because . . . Criticizing a previous employer implies that you may do the same to them when you leave. Instead, explain how you overcame a difference of opinion and how you managed difficult situations. Dont dwell on negative issues, and make your answer short. I dont have any questions for you. Of course you do. Saying you dont have any questions indicates you arent very interested in the job or dont know much about the company. Do your research and walk into the interview with questions. Try to think of questions that the interviewer wont answer as part of the introduction. For example, ask about expansion plans or future development within the company. Ive been going through a rough patch at home . . . Interviewers will probably ask you to share something about yourself. Remember to keep your response pertinent to the job and position. Talk about your education, previous employment, goals, and ambitions. If you mention hobbies or personal interests, keep it short. Do not discuss personal problems. In five years, I want to live on a tropical island. When asked about your future, employers want to know how your goals will benefit their company. Saying anything else will tell them that you arent ambitious or interested in the job at hand. What do you want to achieve in this job or in this industry? 41.

It is difficult, by sheer popularity and fame of the story, to read or listen to Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol without conjuring up images from one of the many preexisting dramatic productions of the tale. Unfortunately, we often focus on the popular dramatizations of the story to the exclusion of the message that lies at its heart. The story is now a staple of the Western Christmas tradition, but many people dont fully understand why. A Christmas Carol is a very simple and straightforward presentation of the dangers associated with power and greed. However, the story has a more fundamental (if somewhat clichd by todays standards) message: seize the day and take advantage of all that life has to offer. The reader is left with the notion that, within all of us, there exist qualities that can be improved to unknowable benefit, and it is our responsibility to make necessary improvements in order to realize those benefits. We see, in Ebenezer Scrooge, an individual almost entirely consumed by greed with little or no worries for the rest of humanity. He is, obviously, an extreme case with whom it is difficult to identify. His days are spent in concentration over his money and how best to underuse it, and his life has been wasted on this cause. He squanders his days while those around him, such as his nephew and Bob Cratchit, attempt to live their live
