Bloodletting in a Job Interview
Here’s a good way to sabotage your career. Talk about your previous employer.
One fellow I interviewed was happy to chat away about all kinds of tidbits any industrial spy would love to steal.
Jeez. Not only did I not hire them (who needs to wonder what they will tell the competition if they go looking again?) but I’m sure this approach affected other potential employers similarly.
Talk about your own performance. Tell them your personal hit rate, and how you achieve it. Blab about how your team pulled off a herculean task. Just leave out the names and specific details.
