Here, Freeman and Sharghi share some common awkward situations that can disrupt a job interview, and how to recover from them with grace.
If you're alerted that your interview will run behind schedule, it's appropriate to remind the recruiter about your own time constraints.
"It all boils down to communication and being transparent with the recruiter," Sharghi says.
Your phone goes offIn 99% of cases, if your phone goes off mid-interview, don't answer it, Freeman says.
The interviewer is giving you zero energySometimes you may feel you're giving your most high-energy, best first impression, but you're getting little positive feedback from your interviewer, Freeman says.
