Kubo Recruitment sources the best talent in the life sciences
and clinical research sectors. Having talent doesn’t
necessarily mean  you are the best candidate. There are
some simple interviewing and etiquette rules one should
follow to really impress an employer.


Here are some real examples of how NOT to impress your potential employer and some tips to overcome any insecurities. Have these ever happened to you?

• After an unsuccessful job interview, one candidate followed his interviewer to the train station. He spent the rest of the train journey pleading with her to give him the job.
Interview Tip: Enthusiasm is good, desperation is not. It is ok to follow up after an interview, but hassling your interviewer isn't likely to get you anything except a restraining order.

• One guy sent a follow-up e-mail asking if the pretty lady who interviewed him was married. He followed it up with some virtual roses and asked her out.
Interview Tip- Office Romances rarely work out, but maybe it’s best to wait until after you have the job to ask her out?

• Candidate answered their mobile phone during the interview and asked the interviewer to leave her own office because it was a “private” conversation.
Interview Tip- Always switch off your phone during an interview and for heaven’s sake, never answer it!

• Candidate told the interviewer he wouldn’t be able to stay with the job long because he thought he might get an inheritance if his uncle died – and his uncle “wasn’t looking too good.”
Interview Tip: They say honesty is the best policy, but it’s best to separate your personal and professional life – and maybe keep some information to yourself?

• The candidate talked about promptness as one of her strengths after showing up 10 minutes late.
Interview Tip: -You should always try and be at least 10 minutes early for an interview.  If for some reason you are late, apologising works a lot better than trying to pretend it didn’t happen.

• The candidate took off his shoes during the interview.
Interview Tip:- Being relaxed in an interview is good, being rude is not!

• From Personal Experience: A job candidate managed to get himself into the building and casually walked round all the departments introducing himself and asking if we have “company social events” ???
Interview Tip- Showing that you are a team player is always a positive, but being too forward is just going to get you a door in your face!
