"How to Nail An Interview (22 Tips)". Some are--or should be--obvious, but most are worth remembering.
9. Profiles to private
If you don't think interviewers Google you or look you up on Facebook or MySpace, you're crazy. Hiring managers I've talked to all do this, as one put it, "to weed out people who wouldn't be a good fit in the company's culture." Don't give them ammo to not like you, set your profiles to private. . . .
11. Don't babble
When answering a question, answer the question. Don't start out answering a question and then veer off to talk about something else. Make sure your answer directly reflects the question being asked.
"to weed out people who wouldn't be a good fit in the company's culture"
1. Couldn't they just ask? I'd certainly answer honestly: the idea of "corporate culture" is barbarization and degradation of the idea of culture. Of course I won't fit. I'm a human being.
2. Sounds like an end-run around discrimination laws.
