10 Things You Should Never Do In A Job Interview - Jobs/Vacancies

1. Don’t be late or too early Arriving late for the interview is a rude gesture that always makes a bad impression, but so is arriving too early. In both cases you can cause the feeling that you do not calculate the time well, in the first case, it is also perceived as disrespectful, and in the second, it can seem that you are living in a desperate situation. 2. Do not have the mobile on Turn off your mobile minutes before entering the room where you are going to be interviewed. Do not leave it for the last moment or you will run the risk of forgetting it. If your cell phone rings during the interview, it will interrupt your interviewer’s work and create an awkward situation that will not benefit you at all. 3. Don’t get bogged down in an argument Freely express your opinions but never start or maintain an argument. It is not about giving the reason without complaining to those who do not have it, but try not to see yourself involved in an argument. It will be an embarrassing situation that will position you as a conflictive person. 4. Do not gesticulate exaggeratedly Your gestures and your postures are more important than you think. They say a lot about you and reveal what you feel. For example, don’t sit on the edge of the chair or wave your hands insistently. Try to look your interviewer or interviewers in the eye, but not in a threatening way. Smile and behave naturally. 5. Do not take the initiative: let the interviewer direct the interview Remember that you are the interviewee and not the interviewer. You are there to answer questions, not to ask them. Do not compete with the interviewer, he must always take the initiative. Do not interrupt him and always answer his questions. Without detours or ambiguities. 6. Don’t answer questions aggressively Never get defensive. Respond calmly and use a calm and collected tone. During the interview do not behave aggressively or act violently. If you get nervous, take a deep breath and stay calm. 7. Don’t show up looking bad Choose well the clothes you are going to wear that day. Clean yourself and take care of all the details of your personal hygiene. Your appearance is very important to make a good impression. The image counts a lot and provides a large amount of information about your tastes, your preferences and your way of thinking. A careless image will harm you. 8. Don’t chew gum Chewing gum during a conversation is rude. It will appear that you are not serious about the interview and most people find it very uncomfortable. Do not hesitate, your interviewer will find it highly inappropriate. 9. Don’t lie The proverb is wise. “A liar is caught before a lame man.” If you lie on your CV or if you answer false questions, sooner or later you will be found out and the cure will be worse than the disease. No company wants to hire liars or cheaters. 10. Don’t stop being yourself Everyone is nervous about a job interview, it is clear that it is not an easy time. Most people try to memorize learned answers and some interviewees try to play a role to make a good impression. Don’t fall into that mistake, don’t act n pretend to be who you are not. If you keep these tips in mind, you will behave during the job interview with more confidence and poise. Read them carefully and if you have any questions, we can advise you to find the job that best suits your profile. An interview is a decisive moment to demonstrate to the interviewer that you are the most suitable person to fill the position offered.

Ok o. The rules are endless and rather than serve as guidance to newbies, may threaten and intimidate the little confidence they have left. Maybe I should highlight 5 things to do before an interview. 1. Dress well . Except otherwise stated, a CLEAN black jacket on a white/blue shirt with a clean neck tie/scarf. 2. Practice. Prepare. Rehearse. Not in your mind. Rehearse with your mouth. There's a huge difference between those who have rehearsed and those who didn't, no matter how good they think they are. 3. Use real stories to demonstrate your experience and strengths. As you rehearse these stories, you'll learn to trim them and saying them again would make them flow. 4. Believe. Believe that your interviewer(s) want to hire you. This helps your trust and confidence. No, your enemy is not on that desk, and that person asking you 'difficult' questions truly wants you to justify the high grades he wants to give you. That's the person you should smile to. Recruiters go through a lot trying to select the appropriate CVs. They want you to justify that decision that they have made. It is painful to know that valuable time and resources have been wasted to invite a clown to the table. 5. Research the company and the role. Don't try to go and 'cram' everything on their website. Just take one thing that you personally find interesting in their information and know as much as you can on that ONE thing. Research also means knowing the address of the interview and how to get there on time on your interview date. It is ok to visit the venue before your interview date to familiarize yourself with the address and route, and may chip this into your Convo if the opportunity presents itself.
