In this chapter we shall see what are the mistakes to avoid in an interview.
- Coming late to interview:
It doesn’t matter whatever the reasons are. If you arrive late it gives an impression to recruiter that you are not serious about the job.
- Keeping the mobile in General Mode:
Before going inside the interview room, make sure that you keep your mobile in silent mode or better in meeting mode.
- Body Language:
It’s common that while going for an interview you will be nervous. But you should not show through your body. Avoid any such posture that will give that you are nervous.
It is usually good to look into the eye of the interviewer while giving a firm handshake and a smile on your face during an interview.
- Being too casual:
I understand that many companies these days doesn’t require a formal attire while coming to interview. But I recommend that you go on formals for 1 day and also cleanly shaven. First impression is the best impression.
- Bad mouthing old company or manager:
It doesn’t matter how good or bad was your last company or manager. But don’t say anything bad about it. Because the company that is hiring you, will think that, once you leave there, you will bad mouth them also. Hence better not say anything about it.
