Arriving Late
Walking in for the interview even ten minutes after the interview is scheduled for, sends a
negative first impression to potential employers. Get detailed directions to the interview
site and calculate how long it will take you to get there, so that you can arrive 10 minutes
early.
Ø Inappropriate Appearance
Improper clothes and grooming can jeopardize an interview. Casual clothes are definitely
out. Your objective should be to dress smartly and not overtly. Remember, nails should
be cut, hair well groomed and shoes polished. These may seem like little things but they
count for a lot in any interview.
Ø Poor Communication Skills
A candidate who has bad grammar, talks too much, or does not listen is a red flag. Being
too open during the interview is a killer too. You should be candid, but don't pile the
interviewer with all of your personal problems. Think before you speak!!
Ø Poor Performance or Preparation
or even know what jobYes, there are job seekers who don't
they are interviewing for. Lack of eye contact, extreme gestures or movements, and other
physical ticks can really turn off employers.
Ø Negative Attitude Display
Hiring managers are turned off by unenthusiastic, bored or arrogant behavior. Using
profanity, acting cocky, or putting down a previous boss will quickly turn off an
interviewer.
Ø Lying in the Resume or During Interview
Do you have to told that dishonesty is a no-no? For example, do not falsely claim to have
earned degrees or certificates and do not cover up a possible criminal record. Also, just in
case you weren't sure, stealing from a prospective employer is also frowned upon in an
interview.
Ø Failing to Confirm Interest
After the employer has finished explaining the details of the organization and the job
descripttion, it is your responsibility to reaffirm your interest and ask what the next step is.
