After a long, stressful job search, securing an interview with a prospective employer is undoubtedly a small victory and sign of personal development.
However, while this may feel like a time for celebration, those who recently garnered an interview with a company should be cautious about sharing this good news with others, according to a recent CBS MoneyWatch article.
The news source reports that one of the main things those that are already gainfully employed need to remember is that one's current employer may punish a person if he or she is interviewing at other firms.
"Some companies will fire you if they know that you are looking," executive coach Cheryl Palmer told the news source. "Plus, if you don’t get the job everyone will know that you didn’t make the cut."
Additionally, it can be wise to keep one's interview to oneself because disseminating this information can possibly create more competition. The news source reports that many people, particularly one's co-workers may also be looking to change careers, meaning they could ultimately secure an interview at the other company themselves.
Either way, once the day of the job interview arrives, it is important that candidates have prepared themselves on the questions they fear the most, in order to be ready to answer anything thrown their way.
