Some Job interview mistake applicants make

Job interview mistakes
Now moving towards explaining these mistakes, I wanna tell you something. Everything you do or say in an interview is looked as your working behavior. So you should show your maximum spirit in an interview. Now I will explain these mistakes.

Mistake 1: Uninterested:
The first most common interview mistake is showing your employer that you are not interested in the job. When you appear late in an interview, you don’t know about the company and you don’t know about job description that means you are not interested in job opportunity and you just applied for fun. Be on time and search about the company. At least visit their website. Show your spirit to the interviewer.

Mistake 2: Unprepared:
Being unprepared for an interview is the biggest mistake. Interview call is not an easy task, don’t take it for granted. Prepare yourself for an interview question. Read the job description and find keyword. Search those keywords on Google and get answers of the question. There are many common interview questions that every interviewer ask, so try to prepare those questions. Research about the company, know about their mission and products at least.

Mistake 3: Outer Look:
You should know about the culture of the organization. You should know their dressing sense and what they like and what they don’t. If you are appearing in a casual dress then it seems to be a mistake. Make sure to wear formal dressing in an interview. The interview is the most formal thing and you should look formal.

Mistake 4: Being Angry:
What if you have a company and interviewing someone. If a candidate seems angry and hot minded, would you hire him/her? I don’t think so. No one wants to hire an angry person (Angry Birds seems to be dangerous 🙂 ). So if you are angry at someone and due to any reason, control your anger before appearing in the interview.

Mistake 5: Sharing TMI (Too Much Information):
Well, I don’t know it ever happened to you but it happened to me many times. When someone asks you a question, repeat question in your mind, take you time and think what you will answer to this question. Don’t just start speaking after the question asked. Take your time even if you know the answer. Control your emotions and answer to the point. Don’t share too much information and bore interviewer. If they want details they will ask for that. Meanwhile, give the brief answer.

Mistake 6: Body language:
It is noticed very much that candidates are being shy. They don’t smile, don’t make eye contact and they just sit there as they are in jail. You are in a job interview man, you need to be calm, happy and confident. Make eye contact, smile, and handshake properly.

Mistake 7: Asking wrong questions:
You don’t need personal information of interviewer, So don’t ask the wrong question for example about their children or family. Don’t ask about revenue of company or anything that doesn’t matter to you. You are not the investigator, you are a job candidate. remember it.

Mistake 8: Follow up:
Do you really want a job? Then why just sit back after the interview. Ask different question to the interviewer about office environment and working relations. Ask their business card and give them your if you have. Send them a thank you message after an interview. Note their email address if you don’t have their card.ng here...
