I never do it. So many times I want to give little bits of advice to strong candidates who just need a little polish in one area or another. Sometimes I want to give big bits of advice to job candidates who are walking disasters.
This morning I interviewed a young college graduate who was bright and energetic and has real potential. Her resume, however, was terrible. It was submitted via monster.com and she didn't attach it as a word document and she had no cover letter. In fact, the only reason I called her for an interview was because of the school she graduated from. Sometimes things like that stick out and I decide to give the person a chance.
Anyway, at the end of our interview, I asked if she would like a little free advice about job hunting in case the position with my company didn't work out. She took me up on my offer. So I feel good that I actually went ahead and gave her some tips.
12 interviews down. 2 to go. I actually extended an offer to someone today but I won't know if she accepted until tomorrow so I'm plugging away with the interviews.
PS- FUCK JIVE
