Here are some interesting job interview no-nos which I have found CNN news and would just like to share them to you.
You may find some of them to be completely absurd, but as the article says, they were actually from actually experiences of the job interviewers.
Here they are, the job interview no-nos:

Entrepreneurs of great character!
“Enterepreneur of great character“ I was awarded that title in October of 2007 together with five of my classmates after finishing 10 Ka-Entrep Sessions sponsored by the Center for Small Entrepreneurs (CSE). The title was awarded because we have done such a simple and natural act – we completed the ten twice-a-month sessions and we were never late in any of those sessions. And I, coming all the way from Angeles City, was almost always the earliest to arrive at the session’s place which was in Manila.

Tailor-fit your resume
You think you got it right. You have the most impressive resume that will catch the attention of any discriminating HR manager. Immediately, you printed a number of copies and sent them to every multi-national companies you can send to, confident that soon enough your phone will be ringing like crazy.
Days passed, no calls were received. No big deal, you said. A week passed and still no calls… and another week… and another week. You started to get worried.
It’s definitely not the result you were expecting.

Don’t shoot down ideas
Ideas abound, sometimes even from the most unlikely source in the corporation. That is why some foreign companies are even holding ideas blitz on a regular basis, if not annually. So they can encourage their employees to voice out their two-cent worth of ideas. And surprisingly, from this blitz of ideas out comes a jewel that can help the organization increased their earnings from great innovations, or even help them save from their expenses.
Sadly though, this is not always the case on our local organizations. With Filipinos who are known to be sensitive people, any new idea is often treated as a rejection of their current tried and tested system. Believe me, I have personally experienced this.

Checking account management
Filed under: Money, entrepreneur, finance, management, roysville
In my early years in the bank, one of my first assignments was as a CA/SA bookkeeper. One of my duties then was to monitor the balances of checking and savings accounts of our clients. Although I was more particular on the checking accounts, and I have closed quite a number of accounts then because some people don’t how to manage checking accounts.
We all know that a checking account is an important tool to an entrepreneur. Aside from it being a convenient way of paying obligations, it also allows for easier recording and monitoring of expenses. However, as great as a financial tool it is, the checking account can cause the entrepreneur’s downfall when improperly handled.

Are you in business or just self-employed?

What could be the difference between the two?
A lot!
I myself could not believe it until it was proven by our facilitator during our Ka-Entrep sessions in 2007 at CSE. Our seminar facilitator asked us one by one, and all the while we thought we were in business, but as it turned out most were just self-employed, we really don’t have a business but just a job at home.
“So what is your business?” The facilitator asked, “I do homemade salad dressings, the feedback I’m getting are good. In fact, I get lots of orders. I can say business is really good” replied the participant.
“You make the salad dressings yourself?” the facilitator continued. “Yes, ma’m!” was the the quick reply “it’s my own formula, my secret recipe.”
“So I take it that you won’t entrust your secret formula to anybody else, so only you must work to do your salad dressings, right?”

Complaints are gifts from customers
I was fortunate to have worked with Far East Bank whose main thrust was customer service. That is why we were always asked to attend trainings and seminars to help us improve our service to customers. In this seminars, it was always reiterated that “Complaints are gifts from customers!”
At first I find absurd if not outright ridiculous. But as the trainings and seminars progresses, it made more sense to me. A customer who is complaining is far better than a customer who doesn’t. A customer who complains is actually giving us a chance to help us improve our service and fix any lapses we may have. Whereas a customer who doesn’t complain and just leave is giving us no opportunity to fix any dissatisfaction he may experienced… and worst, this dissatisfaction could multiply outside our business without our knowledge.
