North Carolina Workers' Compensation Attorney's suggestions for handling job interviews

It is important to cooperate fully with all vocational rehabilitation efforts. It is important that your conduct at a job interview is not interpreted as an attempt to sabotage your chances of returning to gainful employment.

You should arrive early for the interview. You should be appropriately dressed and present a positive, upbeat demeanor to the person conducting the interview.

You should have an accurate and complete resume. This resume should fairly and accurately set out your job skills, but it should not be exaggerated. Certainly, there should never be any misstatements in your resume.

You should not volunteer that you have suffered an injury of any kind. This voluntary statement on your part may be interpreted as an attempt on your part to sabotage your chances of getting hired. Of course, if you are asked about any prior injuries, you must answer truthfully both verbally and on any forms to which you are presented. You should not make any misstatements of any kind during you job interview.

At this interview, you should obtain the prospective employer’s skill requirements as well as the physical demands of the job for which you are applying. It would make no sense for you to apply for a job for which you obviously are not qualified. For instance, if you cannot type and have had no experience in using a computer, it would be foolish to apply for a job which requires computer skills.

Be sure to get the interviewer’s signature on your job search page to prove that you went to the job interview.
