Survey Questions
Hi. In this video, we will show you 7 things you should not do in a job interview. Following the points below helps you have a smooth conversation with your recruiter preventing a quick ending.
So, here they are:
-
Don’t answer your phone or text during the interview. This kind of interruption is not acceptable.
-
Don’t dress inappropriately. Your image starts by the way you dress so take time preparing your look.
-
Don’t talk negatively about previous company and employees. This gives a bad sign that you are not loyal or trustful.
-
Don’t be arrogant. There is a thin line between arrogance and confidence. Know how to appear confident by stating your accomplishments as a company’s winner points. Don’t brag about yourself.
-
Don’t look disinterested. Interviewers end interviewees quickly with boring candidates. They look for interviewees full of energy that could bring optimism and positivity to the company.
-
Don’t answer generally. Be specific with details. Interviewers want to know what skills you have and what achievements you have previously accomplished. They want you to prove to them that you have done it.
-
Don’t be unaware of the company or job. Having little or no information of what you are applying to shows that you are uninterested and definitely unprepared.
