I would agree with you about the "false advertising." It's appalling how the quality has suffered over time. And yes -- not knowing the company's activities is also a big one in which job seekers drop the ball. Thank you for bringing that point up! It's so sad how candidates suffer; all of these could be avoided with a little extra care in the process of the job hunt. Thanks for your comments, Hannah!

I can relate to the whole Valentine's card thing! One could almost call it false advertising. The 5 common errors you list are SO preventable! Can I add not knowing what the company does to your list as well. Preparing is more than just showing up so thanks for re-enforcing this! Melissa,
