Tip Of The Day: “Downplaying the Negative” In keeping with the previous sentiments, it is always important to downplay your past negative experiences in the course of a job interview. Do be forewarned, however, that your resolve will be tested. Recruiters often ask candidates specifically about negative situations and difficult tasks they were asked to perform simply to see their reaction. Though it may be true that you hate your current boss, job, and company, you should never –under any circumstances– let the interviewer hear or see your bitterness. Again, all experiences –even bad ones– have taught you a lesson. The best way to downplay a negative topic is to introduce the situation only briefly and focus the rest of your answer on the positive experiences that emerged from it. Keep the slanderous remarks or disparaging comments to yourself. The only thing such comments will convey to the interviewer is the possibility of a future attitude problem, which probably will not place you too high on the “Must Hire Now” candidate list.
