Mistakes to avoid in an interview





INTERVIEW Mistakes to avoid in an interview

A fresher and an experienced person, both should read this, as anyone may tend to make the following mistakes. Go through this blog to prevent these mistakes in your face to face interview. Here are some of the common mistakes that should be avoided in the interview.




INTERVIEWNever try over-compliment the interviewer: Giving a gentle smile (wherever required) is enough in the interview. Complimenting too much may annoy the interviewer or may develop dislike for you as he may find that you are buttering him for the job. This kind of behavior is not acceptable, especially in the corporate world.
Never try to discuss the issues you have faced in the previous job: Discussing much about the problems you have faced in the previous job, might portray your negative image to the interviewer. He may find you incapable of handling situations and therefore not fit for the job.
INTERVIEW


Always check if you have turned off your cell phone: Cell phones ringing in between the conversation might distract you as well as the interviewer. This might irritate the interviewer and may portray negative impact showing your casual approach for the interview. If you want the job seriously, do not take the risk.
INTERVIEWAlways be positive: The interviewer may try to confuse you by asking twisted questions or even irrelevant questions to check out opinions about the things. Be careful while answering those questions and try to keep on positive tone. Don’t get emotional or express your personal feelings about the issue.
Never ask silly questions that can only be answered by a simple yes or no just to impress the interviewer: The interviewer may usually end up giving you an opportunity to ask the questions. If you have any genuine query, then only go for it otherwise don’t try to ask unnecessary questions to flatter the interviewer. The interviewer can easily visualize your behavior and may find it inappropriate.
Never try to blindly match the tone of interviewer: In the discussion, if the interviewer is on the positive side and you, being an interviewee, trying to match with his tone and suddenly he shifts to the negative side, gradually changing his opinion, be firm on your views and think over it and then express your opinion.
INTERVIEW

Never try to become over-friendly with the interviewer: The interviewer might be friendly with you, trying to make you comfortable before starting the interview. In such situation, don’t be boastful and don’t try crack unnecessary jokes with the interviewer and maintain the decorum in the organization. Don’t portray your casual attitude.
Do not prepare a fake resume: It is said that the resume is a marketing document to sell yourself but in true sense. Your resume should be inculcated entirely with correct information. Never speak or write lies. You may end up in trouble, throwing bad impression on the company as well as the interviewer.

This will surely help you in going through the interview process. Therefore avoid these mistakes and get crack the interview.
Best of luck!

8 things to keep in mind while sitting for the interview

8 things to keep in mind while sitting for the interview 1. Make sure that your introduction is impressive: In the interview , most probably the first question asked is usually “Tell me about yourself.” Take 1-2 minutes to answer this question. You should include about your qualifications, past experiences, strengths and interests related to work, etc. Don’t repeat what is already written in the resume. The recruiter wants to hear something apart from that. Your introduction is the first impression on interviewer , therefore it should grab his attention so that he takes interest in whatever you say.

It is the utilization of available resources to the point of detriment. It generally means to go overboard by making a task unnecessarily difficult. Let's see the example: Suppose a fine-tuned organization is conducting a program in which it has invited the guests from all over the world, including the famous entr epreneurs , ministers, clients and other VIPs.
