Hopefully you’ve been avoiding these mistakes, as they will greatly reduce your chances of getting a job. Still, there are a number of other things you might be doing, and you can’t stop doing them until you’re aware of them.

The interviewing process can be complicated. Interviewers -- and the experience that goes along with them -- can come in all shapes, sizes, and quite often, personalities.

As job seeker, you often have thoughts about when you’ll finally get a job again. You’re constantly driven by these thoughts. There’s nothing you’d like more than to get hired and finally be able to get a good night’s sleep.
