A big topic in the Fall 2009 issue of the NMRT Newsletter was job hunting, and several members asked for information on finding a job in this tough economy. Since I'm in the hunt as well, I'm always on the look-out for advice and tips. So, let's say you've finally gotten a coveted interview, which seems to be the hardest part these days. It's important to be prepared for you interview. Most experts suggest practicing your answers to common questions and doing some research about the place to which you are applying. However, if you're like me, no matter how prepared I am I'm still really nervous going into an interview, and you've also probably got a couple of nervous habits. I tend to say "um" a lot or fiddle with something in my hand. But be careful with these nervous habits because they can annoy your interviewer and be a turnoff. This article is interesting because it lists several habits a lot of us have, and probably don't notice we are doing, that can be annoying to your interviewer. Keep them in mind as what not to do on your next interview.
