Myth #8: You Should Have Tremendous Ambition



Though future aspirations are keenly weighed and thoroughly appreciated by hiring managers, it is not necessary that every job aspirant should be a go-getter and have huge plans or ambitions for growth.



Myth #7: If You Don’t Hear Straight Away, You Haven’t Got the Job



Some hiring managers like to take their own time to get back to you depending on the number of job applicants and the urgency of the role. Hence be patient and never despair when you don’t get an immediate response from the employer. 



Myth #6: You Should Always Keep Your Answer Short



There is a popular perception among people that recruiters expect short and crisp answers from the job applicants, which is not true. Don’t hesitate to speak out your mind during a job interview and if necessary, don’t shy away to speak at some length and give your all to convince that you are the best-fit for the open position.
