5 Email Mistakes That Cost Job Candidates Interviews
About this episode
This episode discusses common email mistakes that job candidates make during the interview process and how to avoid them.
There's a part of the interview process almost nobody thinks about. The emails you send after the interview. Or throughout the hiring process. Or when you get an offer. Most job candidates assume email is the safest way to communicate. Technically, it's the riskiest. I've seen candidates try to rewrite an interview in a thank you note, send multiple follow-up emails, ask important questions over email, and even negotiate compensation. Oy! Here's the problem. Email strips away nearly everything that makes communication effective. Your tone. Not to mention your charming personality. You can't explain what you mean. Or why you're asking what you're asking. When you need to communicate something important, email is the worst tool. Today, let's identify the traps, avoid the mistakes, and make sure your emails help your candidacy instead of hurting it.
