Mistake 3: Giving too much information
Sometimes people have a “tell the truth and only the truth” mentality, so they show their courage by answering every question with too much detailed or personal information. It is neither smart nor helpful to do this.
Nor is it advisable to tell lies, but avoid boring the interviewer and nullifying the job opportunity by sharing too much irrelevant information. If the employer wants more details, they will ask you.
Mistake 4: Negative body language
If you don’t smile, shake hands or make eye contact with the people you meet at the employer’s premises, and especially with the interviewer, you will convey shyness and lack of common sense or simply appear uninterested. Show interest and enthusiasm.
Mistake 5: You don’t have good questions to ask or you ask the wrong questions at the wrong time.
Zero questions = zero interest!!!
If you don’t ask questions, you will ruin your chance of getting hired. But it’s just as bad if you ask the wrong questions.
During the first interview, questions that only refer to salary, vacation and benefits are not well received.
These questions seem to indicate that you are only interested in certain personal benefits, rather than the job and the real contribution you can make to the employer.
Instead, you can ask questions about the job description, the team, the organisational culture of the company.
