Avoid These Mistakes During Job Interviews

By Joseph Jacob


If a job seeker is called for a job interview, it is truly a victory for that person because most of the candidates are not called for interviews. However, winning a job is solely depends on the degree of success he achieved during the interview. Most of the applicants fail during interviews due to the various mistakes they make. If you want to get a job, you must not make such mistakes during interviews. These are some common mistakes you should avoid.

* Not getting ready for the interview

"What do you know about this firm?" This is a general question asked by most of the companies during interviews. If you cannot respond to this query, or if you give an incorrect answer, it will be the end of your wish. Therefore, it is important to discover information about the organization, its record, and the business procedure before going to the interview. You can locate this information from the organization's website, or its Facebook fan page.

* Unsuitable outfits

Different dresses will match with different interviews. However, a professional dress will suit to any job interview. If you have any doubt about the dress you should wear for the interview, check dress codes of existing employees in the company.

* Poor interaction

Having inadequate interaction (both spoken and non-verbal) is another fact that disqualifies you. Hence, it is very essential to maintain appropriate interaction during the whole interview such as handshakes, eye contact, body language etc.

* Too much chatting

Do not attempt to tell your whole life stories to the interviewers because they do not need to listen. Always respond to queries simply and easily without going to describe your answers needlessly. Do not tell unrelated factors. Always tell necessary things only.

* Undesirable manners

Some applicants do not switch off their cell phones during the meeting. Some applicants do not think twice to answer telephone calls during the interview. Apart from that, some applicants demand drinks and food. Some candidates request to go to the bathroom. These are some undesirable things that you should not do in an interview. These can impact highly negatively to your career.

* Giving unequal details

Sometimes, you may ask to complete interview forms prior to the interview or during the interview. Such forms may carry questions that ask similar information you have already given with your CV. Hence, make sure to provide the same information you gave with your CV. Don't provide diverse answers to the same question. Maintain the reliability.

* Giving negative comments on past employers

Some applicants blame to their previous employers and criticize their weaknesses during interviews. Never make such mistakes even if they had such weaknesses.

These are some crucial things to remember about recruitment online.
