Acing an interview is an important step in landing a job, but it’s no easy feat, and your time to show yourself off is limited. According to a new CareerBuilder survey conducted by The Harris Poll, around half of employers (49%) know within the first 5 minutes of an interview if a candidate is a good or bad fit for a position, and only 8% make up their mind within a half hour or longer.
This survey was conducted online by The Harris Poll from November 28, 2017 to December 20, 2017 and included a representative sample of 1,014 hiring managers and Human Resource professionals across industries and company sizes (of which, 888 are in the U.S. private sector).
