Reasons Why Most People Fail Job Interview by highfaculty(m): 10:06pm On Jul 08, 2019
REASONS WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL JOB INTERVIEW

In this article, you would learn reasons why most people fail a job interview. So, you are advised to read through this article carefully to learn a few things that will definitely be of help to you.

Somehow, the whole purpose and idea behind a job interview have been misspelt by most job seekers.

One of the purposes of a job interview is to help job seekers and employers learn about one another. And in this process, some job seekers tend to be too formal or too informal as the case may be.

REASONS SOME PERSONS FAIL A JOB INTERVIEW
JOB INTERVIEW: BAD MANNERS

This may seem strange but it is it a problem that needs to be addressed. There are jobs prescription and descriptions for every job. Before you apply for a job, you should know about the job description.

Smoking: You don't go to a job interview smoking if smoking isn't part of the ethics of the job. Imagine you are been interviewed and you are blowing out smoking on the executives interviewing you... it doesn't make sense and you definitely won't get the job.

Gum chewing: It is not proper to chew and pop gum while in a job interview. You may be a perpetual gum chewer and popper but you don't have to chew gum in an interview cause it may lead to a distraction and eventually you not getting the job.

Lateness: While I do claim proficiency in this department on a social level, even I’m not late for interviews. What a way to display your awesomeness, by strolling in 15 minutes late to an interview. You will not get the job.

Your Dressing: If you don’t know the dress code in your wannabe office, then you should dress up – not down. Try to look smart and pretty by dressing well. Most preferably, put on a suit and a nice polished shoe.

JOB INTERVIEW: BELIEVING TOO MUCH IN PAPER

As funny as this may seem, it is actually the truth. It is good to graduate with good grades because it is what will actually make you show up for an interview. But you see my friend, good grades won't give you the job.

Knowing a little about the practical knowledge of your wannabe job or office is far better securing you a job than the paper you have on your hands.

It has been confirmed by many employers that whenever they try to make school grade a deciding factor for their company, it is always a bad choice because they end up not getting the best man for the job.

Know what you should know.

I like your write up as they are good however some points raised may not be obtainable in this part of this world. For example chewing of gum and smoking is rare this days among job applicant because many are informed about the implications. I would have love to see other causes added to this write up
