Unemployment is one of the challenges people face around the world. As a matter of fact, people in the so-called Developed world still battle with unemployment. However, after job hunting for so long, you finally got yourself a job interview. But you end up ruining it with some silly mistakes. This article will focus on the mistakes that could ruin your job interview.

Sometimes you may be so close to getting a job, but certain mistakes you make unconsciously may ruin your chances. At one time or the other, we have faced this situation before. Well, not anymore as this article will point out some of these cringe-worthy mistakes you should avoid.



7 Mistakes That Could Ruin Your Job Interview

#1 Pretending To Be Perfect

One of the mistakes that could ruin your job interview is pretending to be perfect. Even interviewers understand that nobody is perfect. So, trying to pretend as if you don’t have any flaw will only reduce your chances of getting the job.

#2 Bad-Mouthing Your Old Boss

Bad mouthing your old boss is among the mistakes that could ruin your job interview. In fact, this will not present you well before the interviewers. They will always assume that you have a difficult attitude.

#3 Not Bothering To Check Out The website

Most interview candidates always fail to check out the website of the company. They will end up looking stupid when the interviewer asks them certain questions about the company.

#4 Forgetting To Say Thank You

Most candidates with a good resume, cover letter and perform very good during the interview process often fail to show gratitude.

They always fail to say thank you to their interviewer, this could lower your chances of getting the job. So, the next time you attend an interview, ensure that you express undying gratitude.

#5 Not Keeping To Time For Video Interview

Another cringe-worthy mistakes candidates make is the inability to keep up with time, especially video interview. This is an indication that you are very unserious and don’t’ keep to time.

#6 Poor Negotiating Skill

Sometimes, interview candidates negotiate like rookies. They don’t know the right technique to negotiate salary effectively without sounding rude.

#7 Crossing The Line From Confidence To Arrogance

Overconfidence always disqualifies people from getting a job. Interviewers always assume that candidates that are overconfidence are often arrogance. So, it is good to be confident, but don’t overdo it.

I think you really nailed it on the head.

So many do's and don't's and mistakes to avoid and tips to remember.

To get a job, just know what you know very well, have good interpersonal relationships and most importantly, know somebody. If at all you don't know anybody, then know God.

Nice article

ARE YOU DONE TALKING? Indomie generation.

If you don't Know God, Know some1.

Good one

Look getting a job has little to do with all those tips up there.

It's just grace or a bit of luck.

People say you have to know someone before you get a job. I don't know if I should believe this.

Confidence is key i think.

Any time the HR asks how much they can pay me..


I tell them the average salary of the role in the industry plus 50k..... Then I make it a range with 50k difference.


Although I know my luck with jobs has nothing to do with my actions during the interview but I'm sure they are amplified by the almighty.

In 2 months, I sent 5 applications, got 3 invitations, attended 2, got the 2 offers and chose 1.


I have never been the best option.


It has everything to do with Grace.

Oh

This is why being a lazy youth is so bad.

The only thing a lazy youth can do so well is to copy 'n' paste.
