What Not To Do On An Interview
Do not arrive late. Allow enough time from when you leave your house, considering the possibility of unforeseen circumstances such as rail problems or traffic jams.
Do not fidget with items on the desk or play with your hair and clothes.
Do not mumble, talk too fast, too softly or non-stop. Unless you speak clearly, your comments will not be heard nor will you impress the interviewer.
Do not use slang words, make silly jokes or chew gum.
Do not lean on the interviewer's desk or frequently glance at your watch.
Do not hide any aspects of your past employment, overstate salary or qualifications, brag or show anger.
Do not bad-mouth present or prior employers.
Do not come to the interview ignorant about the Company and through your conversation and questions, let it be known that you have done research.
Do not bring up the topic of salary. When the time is right, this will be discussed.
Do not come across as passive or indifferent-be positive and enthusiastic.
Do not ask too much about work/life balance. The interviewer might get the impression you are looking for a 9 to 5 position.
