This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Broward chapter.

You ever wonder why some people are just not hired at a job? Here are some pretty practical reasons:

  • Unprofessional personal appearance
  • Too outspoken or aggressive
  • Unable to express self clearly
  • Poor interest and enthusiasm
  • Overly nervous, under confident
  • Too much emphasis on money
  • Impolite or rude behavior
  • Lack of maturity
  • Speaks bad of former employers
  • Cannot make eye contact with interviewer
  • Many or incomplete application form
  • Arrive late to interview 
  • Texts or makes phone calls during the interview 
  • Asked no questions about the company
  • Could not give direct answers when questioned

I feel like anyone can get a job/internship, just do your best and make sure that you are a professional as possible.

Good luck on your future job/internship interview!

Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
