Conshohocken, PA (PRWEB) October 26, 2007 -- InterviewStream.com, the premier provider of video interviewing solutions, recently launched ScaryInterview.com to compliment their suite of proprietary online technology?just in time for Halloween. The site includes a scary interview (http://scaryinterview.com) with a Vampire, Ghost, Frankenstein, a Psycho and the Devil, and provides an example of how to make a frightening first impression as well as ten tips to prevent a career-deadening interview.
"The number one rule for job seekers is to stand out from the crowd; however you could be leaving a frightening impression if you are ill-prepared for an interview," said Randy Bitting, InterviewStream founder. "In fact, the same advice applies to veteran employees as well. For example, don?t be a vampire and mentally drain all of your co-workers. Think of everyday as a job interview," he continued.
Bitting offers the following tips for job seekers and employees this Halloween:
1. Don?t offer your interviewer or boss some of your Trick or Treat candy?you?re 20-something not 12!
2. Don?t leave your hoop earrings in and painted-mustache on after dressing as Captain Jack Sparrow gentlemen! Ladies, remove the corset no matter how small it makes your waist look.
3. Don?t play zombie. Get a good night sleep and act engaged during the job interview or new work-day, no matter how nervous or tired you are.
4. Don?t mention that you cross-dressed as a French Maid, not to mention bring in photos or post them on MySpace. Ladies, keep the racy Playgirl Bunny photos private too.
5. Don?t carry over your Britney Spears or Frankenstein vocabulary by saying "Like, Umm & Uhh" (http://ummlike.com) with every response; lose the filler words and try replaying each with a short pause. We get enough Britney on TV.
6. Don?t be a vampire and suck all the energy from the interviewer with your lack of participation. Likewise, don?t mentally drain all of your co-workers by not pulling your weight.
7. Don?t be a Ghost. They can?t hire you if you don?t bother to show up for your interview but they can fire you if you don?t show up for your job.
8. Don?t describe Saw 1V (or a similarly gory movie) to the interviewer or the CEO as you see him/her in the elevator as a recent movie that you really enjoyed.
9. Don?t list on your resume that your scares were up 200% year after year while working at the local haunted house and include that as your community service.
10. Don?t include a cane and top hat with your interview suit gentlemen; Hugo Boss didn?t have leopard, polyester suits this season and besides, pimp costumes are so 1998. Ladies, leave the fishnets, fur and platform-fishbowl pumps home until next Halloween as well.
