Many
people feel that the interview is the single most stressful part of
the job search process. Any number of things can go wrong, and a big
part of being successful is avoiding simple mistakes. The things you
should avoid doing are as below:
1.
Trying to wing the interview: Practice! Get a list of general
interview questions, a friend, a tape recorder, and a mirror and
conduct an interview rehearsal. Practice until your delivery feels
comfortable but not canned.
2. Not
being yourself: Be yourself and be honest! Don't pretend to
understand a question or train of thought if you don't. The
interviewer will pick up on this. If you don't know an answer, say
so. Relax and be yourself. Remember you're interviewing the company
as well as vice versa.
3. Not
listening: Focus on the question that is being asked and don't try to
anticipate the next one. It's OK to pause and collect your thoughts
before answering a question. Pay special attention to technical or
work process related subjects that are unique to a given firm or
organization. The interviewer may have provided information you will
need to answer the question earlier in the conversation. Employers
will be looking for your ability to assimilate new information,
retain it, and, most importantly, recognize that information as
useful to you later in the interview.
4. Not
providing enough details: When answering case questions, technical
questions or solving technical problems, take the time to "talk
through" your thought process. Recruiters are much more
interested in seeing how your mind works and how it attacks a given
type of problem, than the answer itself yourself quotes. Articulate your problem
solving process and verbalize your thinking.
5. Lack
of enthusiasm: Maintain eye contact, greet the interviewer with a
smile and a firm handshake (not too weak, not too strong), and show
common courtesy. Don't be afraid to display your passion for the
job/industry and to show confidence.
