15 Reminders of what NOT to do in an Interview



Here at TipTopJob, we have provided you with some important points of what you should NOT do when you have an interview:
 


Do not...


....arrive late - allow enough time for any unforeseen circumstances.
 


Do not...


....make frequent use of active verbs, such as, achieved, set up, managed, responsible for, led. Don't use bullet points to describe jobs or achievements, prose is easier to read and you can be more descriptive.
 


Do not...


....mumble; talk too fast or too softly. You must speak clearly!
 


Do not...


....fidget and fiddle with items on the desk.
 


Do not...


....play with your hair and clothes.
 


Do not...


....use slang words, make silly jokes, or chew gum.
 


Do not...


....lean on the interviewer's desk or glance at your watch.
 


Do not...


....hide any aspect of your previous record, overstate qualifications, brag, or become angry.
 


Do not...


....mention any negative aspect of your current employer, classes, or university.
 


Do not...


....show ignorance about the company - allow your research to come through in conversation.
 


Do not...


....bring up the topic of salary. It will be discussed when the time is right.
 


Do not...


....come across as being passive or indifferent, be positive and enthusiastic.
 


Do not...


....be overbearing, or conceited. Be friendly and open, but do not flirt!
 


Do not...


....answer questions with another question.
 


Do not...


....use negative body language, or convey inappropriate aspects of your character.
 


Do not...


....appear half-asleep, go to bed early the night before the interview and sleep soundly knowing that you are fully prepared for the day ahead.
