Going a step forward, Fortune asked every recruiter at 100 Best Companies to Work For listed to share some tips for candidates seeking to work in these biggies. Some of the tips included making eye contact during the interview, responding quickly to the mails of potential hires, avoid swearing or talking negative about your previous company. Also, the candidate should be able to articulate his passion for the position offered. Also, one interesting tip as shared by Cheryl Farnsworth, Talent Acquisition Manager, Baird, says “We ask our receptionists for their impressions and direct feedback. Any hint of arrogance or condescension is considered unacceptable, and any candidate who fails our ‘receptionist test’ does not receive a job offer.”
