The entire job interview that Charity went through was very comical, but really did not mirror an actual interview, at least not one that I have been through. Before I critique what she did wrong I would like to point out that the man interviewing her was not at all professional, and did not even show appropriate etiquette when it came to interviewing. "....but the manager should play a key role in each" (Lieberman, 333). The manager was a key role of that interview process and he did not act accordingly.
There's a lot of things she did wrong, but mostly, she wasn't prepared. If she had researched what the bare necessities were for a job interview, then maybe she would have gotten some type of work. She did not know how to conduct herself, how to dress, shake hands, announce herself, any of the basics. She then continued to belittle herself replying "no" to all of the answers. She said she didn't know how to file, which isn't necessarily true. I am sure if you can read text, you can file, but she wasn't prepared for those questions. If you want to get technical about what she really didn't do right, she also asked no questions of her own during the interview.
Although Charity did dress a little louder than the rest of the office, she still dressed appropriate to the interview, she attempted to at least. She did remove herself from the situation in a timely manner when she realized her interviewer thought it was a joke. I do not know what was on the card when she walked in, but I do know she did tote a card in hand with her information, so that is a plus. These are the only things I think she did right.
