5 Interview Mistakes That You Shouldn't Make
Interviews are an important step in the job search process, and it's crucial to make a good impression. Here are five interview mistakes that you shouldn't make.
1
Arriving Late
Being on time for an interview is crucial, and arriving late is a sign of irresponsibility. Interviewers will take this behaviour and assume that you will be late for the job.
2
Inappropriate Attire
Wearing inappropriate clothing to an interview could give employers the impression that you do not prioritize dressing professionally for the job and this suggests a lack of professionalism.
3
Speaking Negatively About Former Employers
Speaking negatively about previous employers during an interview reflects poorly on your professional image and can decrease your chances of being hired.
4
Body Language
Certain types of body language can lead the interviewers to misunderstand your personality.
(Eg: Slouching, Crossing your arms, Fidgeting, Avoiding eye contact)
These behaviors may signal to the interviewer that you are not confident in your abilities.
