HOW TO FAIL A JOB INTERVIEW
When interviewing, hiring managers recommend showing up on time and being nice if you want to land the job, according to our Harris Poll survey with Express Employment Professionals.
68% of hiring managers say being rude is the reason an applicant is disqualified from contention.
55% indicate showing up late is a dealbreaker.
53% say dressing inappropriately ends consideration.
Hiring managers' other pet peeves: being uninformed about the organization and/or the position (47%); using unprofessional body language (44%); and not asking questions (27%).
Other don'ts: talking negatively about a previous position or manager (45% of hiring managers say this will disqualify you) and answering phone calls or exchanging text messages during an interview (41%).
A third of candidates admit they've made these fatal mistakes: checked their watches (33%), swore (32%) or were caught in a lie (28%).
GET READY FOR THE POLITICAL AD ONSLAUGHT
2024 will be the most expensive U.S. election cycle ever - with an estimated $12 billion spent across media channels, according to Stagwell's Assembly agency.
65% of political spending this season is expected on traditional TV, followed by streaming TV (13%), social media (12%) and radio (10%).
While spending overall will be a record, ads will be centered on a few key markets: Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Reno and Pittsburgh are the top five using Assembly's Market Intensity Index, which evaluates expected political spending.
The discussion on AI-created political ads is making headlines, yet the continued shift to streaming and digital is the big political advertising story of 2024.
