1 in 5 jobs gone in 60 seconds
One in five firms decide whether to employ a candidate just one minute into a job interview, a study suggests.
Just under half of interviewers say they decide within the first 15 minutes with only a third waiting for the meeting to end.
The biggest mistakes made by candidates are not understanding the job applied for, and not having researched the company
