Something to Avoid

You decide to ask the interviewers what would keep them from hiring you for the position $-$ the thing they least want to see from a prospective hire.

As the hiring manager, Octavia responds. "It's important to us that new employees are a good fit. We have a clear sense of purpose and we value teamwork and cooperation. Anyone who doesn't align with our mission and vision will not be hired."

"Well," Nadia interjects, "teamwork is crucial, yes. But for a sales position especially, I$\text{'}$m looking for someone with motivation and initiative. I wouldn't want to work with a salesperson who wasn't willing to take chances to pursue new business."

"I can't speak for Nadia and Octavia $-$ they're the ones making the decision, after all," says Yao. "But I$\text{'}$d be willing to bet that an unfavorable recommendation from your previous employer would hurt your chances. We respect the other companies in the industry, even if they are the competition."
