Good morning. It’s Wednesday May 2, 2018 and this is your first early morning Jobs briefing!

In today’s Jobs news, NBCU is on the lookout for a programmatic sales planner; Nextstar is hiring a digital sales manager; and Paula Kaplan joined Viacom Digital Studios as EVP of Talent and Development.

Alexa Herndon, VP, Human Resources at Washington Nationals Baseball Club gives us 3 important things not to do during an interview:

Focus on what the organization can do for you. Be sure to highlight what you bring to the table and how you can help the organization meet its goals.
Bash your previous boss or company. If you speak negatively about them the interviewer will think you will talk badly about your new company. Nobody likes a malcontent!
Not ask questions. Come prepared with a few questions or ask insightful follow up questions. Nothing is more deflating than to spend 30 or more minutes with someone trying to get to know them and sharing info about yourself and your organization then the interviewee has no questions.
