Don't Do These Things If You Want to Get Hired

My new Twitter buddy, PRjobs (aka Lindsay Olson), has written a nice primer over at PRNewser about why people don't get hired for jobs they want. It really applies to any industry, but Lindsay is a PR headhunter, so it's focused on our industry.

The tips in a nutshell:

• Don't let your ego hang out there


• Focusing on the job title rather than the job


• Being too concerned with pay too early in the process


• Bad-mouthing a previous employer
