The small details during interview that could cost you a job offer

The small details of an interview that could cost you a job offer 

For many job seekers, finding the job of their dreams has never been more difficult.  
In the United States, job openings fell to 7.6 million in July, according to government data, compared to a peak of 12.1 million in 2022.  
Meanwhile, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics said this month that 4.1% of the US labor force was unemployed in October 2024.  
Some job seekers say they applied to hundreds of jobs before even getting an interview. In such situations, every opportunity counts. Julia Toothacre and Jerry Lee spoke about the small details that can cost a job offer.

Career experts Jerry Lee and Julia Toothacre explain how small mistakes can cost job seekers dearly. 
1. Start by making a good impression on everyone, from the receptionists to the interviewers, so they can give your feedback.


2. Wait for the interviewer to sit down before sitting down to show respect. 

3. Avoid using your phone to take notes; bring a notebook instead, as using a phone can look unprofessional. 

4. Arriving more than 10 to 15 minutes early may disturb the team, so plan your arrival carefully. 

5. Finally, choose subtle scents to avoid overpowering others. 

Focusing on these small details can help minimize red flags and improve your chances of landing the job.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS AND PREVENTIVE ACTIONS

CAPA in the Pharmaceutical Industry: A Crucial Quality Management System CAPA stands for Corrective and Preventive Action. In the pharmaceutical industry, it's a systematic process used to identify, investigate, and address deviations, discrepancies, or non-conformances in processes, products, or systems. The goal is to ensure product quality, safety, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Key Steps in a CAPA Process * Issue Identification: This involves recognizing problems, deviations, or non-conformances. These can arise from internal audits, customer complaints, regulatory inspections, or monitoring manufacturing processes. * Investigation: A thorough investigation is conducted to determine the root cause(s) of the issue. This may involve interviewing staff, reviewing documentation, or analyzing data. * Corrective Action: Once the root cause is identified, corrective actions are implemented to address the immediate problem. These actions might include rectifying the affec...

5 Why investigations

5 Why Investigation: A Tool for Root Cause Analysis The 5 Why investigation is a simple but powerful technique used to identify the root cause of a problem. It involves asking "why?" five times, each time delving deeper into the underlying reasons. This iterative process helps to uncover the fundamental issues that often lie beneath the surface of a problem. How Does it Work? * Identify the Problem: Clearly define the issue you want to investigate. * Ask "Why?": Ask "why" five times, each time focusing on the answer to the previous question. * Drill Down: Continue asking "why" until you reach a point where you can no longer provide a definitive answer or the response becomes circular. Example Problem: A machine is frequently breaking down. * Why is the machine breaking down? It's overheating. * Why is it overheating? The cooling system is clogged. * Why is the cooling system clogged? The coolant filter hasn't been replaced in a long time....

Understanding Ampere Load in RMG During Granulation – A Key to Process Optimization

Understanding Ampere Load in RMG During Granulation – A Key to Process Optimization In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the Ampere load in the Rapid Mixer Granulator (RMG) is more than just a number—it’s a critical indicator of granulation efficiency and batch consistency. During the granulation process, monitoring the ampere load helps track the torque exerted by the impeller and chopper , which directly correlates with the granule formation stage. A sharp rise in ampere load often signals the end point of wet massing , helping operators fine-tune binder addition and avoid over-wetting or under-processing. During process validation,  we actively monitor ampere trends during each batch to: Ensure process reproducibility Maintain granule quality Reduce cycle times Prevent mechanical stress on the equipment By integrating real-time ampere load monitoring with PAT tools , we're pushing toward smarter, data-driven manufacturing. Let’s make granulation more predictable, one amp...
