Disclaimer: If you think the above commercial is realistic and an applicant could obtain a job in this manner, you do not need to read further.

I find it hard to believe that contradicting the fundamental business practices of the company that is interviewing you is an effective way to show off your skills and knowledge. Interviewing is a balancing act between impressing the organization while appealing to their culture.

Top 10 Job Interview Tips and Tricks

The above article offers useful and easy to follow advice for interviewing. Showing that you have researched the company and have a knowledge of their day-to-day operations is a necessity in any job interview.
