Sounding money-minded
Even if you are, never sound like a money-minded person during your interview. Give them a reason to hire you by showing yourself as a problem solver & useful for the company.
Negative thoughts about past employers
Try to avoid blaming your past or current company. It creates a negative effect on your personality and you will end up losing the job.
Robotic Answers
Forget those well-rehearsed answers. Just tell what comes to your mind and to the point. Carefully listen, think and be smart to answer all questions.
Talking too much or too less
Don’t be so formal while answering. You should reply which are related to subjects. Also, avoid one-word answer like yes or no. In both the scenarios, you will lose your hands on the interview.
Beware of TMI
Don’t entertain Interviewers by sharing too much information which is not relevant to interview. Try to give appropriate & point-wise answers.
Poor eye contact
During your interview, try to make eye-contact with your interview panels. Always show the best in you with confidence.
