Fabricated CV
It is always good to be honest with your CV or resume. Any false information in your profile might create a hindrance in a long run.
Improper Research
It is better to do proper research about the growth of the company and a thorough background enquiry which probably might give you base for better reasons to join the firm and also you probably would have smarter answers when asked about reasons for joining the firm .
Inappropriate dressing
Dressing reveals a lot about a person. It is important to dress properly and appropriately. Make sure whatever you choose suits the desired business etiquette. Ideally go for a smart suit, or formal trousers and crisp formal shirt and make sure strong perfumes that can attract unwanted attention are not used.
Playing around with unnecessary props
This can include playing around with your mobile phone, nail files and even chewing gum. Please understand this is surely something that would drive unnecessary attention towards you at the interview table.
Poor body language
According to the experts of human communication, body language plays a vital role in any conversation. A poor body language can leave a mark of an unconfident outlook. Make eye contact, sit in confident posture, have cheerful demeanour and meet the person in command with a firm handshake.
Unclear or ambiguous answers
Take time to think before giving any answer and avoid fumbling when talking something extremely crucial. This will bring things to an uncomfortable halt; it doesn’t inspire confidence.
Avoid the use of clichés
I am a team player, a confident professional, a hard worker, a dedicated employee, a problem-solver, a perfectionist. The interviewer probably must be tired of all these , it’s better to put out things in a more convincing manner.
Attending calls
Always avoid answering your phone calls between an interview. Though it might sound as an obvious thing to do, but still there are people who do attend calls in the middle of an interview .
Discussing money or time off
Wait for the papers to come in and the discussions to start before initiating talks about money, holidays and other perks. It's advisable to show patience when it comes to such decisive matters.
Not following up
You might not think you’ve performed well in an interview but if you simply put across a courtesy mail, it might just make a difference and pay you off well
