1• Dressing wrongly

Specialists say that 65% choices are made about you taking into account how you dress and show up. Interviews are formal events and you must dress formally and appear as though somebody who implies business. However “convention” does not so much mean wearing shirt, tie and suit; but rather it does mean searching brilliant and fit for the employment or position you are applying for. So whenever you go to a Interview, verify you appear as though you mean business.

2• Not all around prepared

Genuine, your dressing is a piece of preparing, yet it is substantially more than dressing. It includes your aggregate outward look. As a male, your hair should be well trim and trimmed. As a woman, you shouldn’t wear a multi-shading hair for Interviews. Additionally watch out on your shading blends, there mustn’t be any mob. However much as could be expected, keep your shading mixes inside of 2 hues, yet not more than 3 at the most extreme. A basic Google scan for thoughts on shading blends can offer assistance.

3• Arriving late for Interview

This will doubtlessly score you low. On the off chance that you arrive late for Interview, it will be expected that you don’t have respect for time and that is the manner by which you will be advancing late for work if you be utilized. Set aside a few minutes to know where your Interview will happen before the day. Organize all that you will require no less than a day before the Interview day. In the event that need be, set alert so you can wake up ahead of schedule and complete on time to go out. You would prefer not to take risks on the off chance that you leave in a spot like Lagos where movement hitch is the request of the day.

4• Lying

It is normal practice for a few individuals to lie about truly various things amid Interview so they could secure the occupation. Be that as it may, it is ideal to stay in favor of honor and trustworthiness and miss the employment than to lie and get it, in light of the fact that eventually the wind may blow and your untruths would be figured out. And after that you would be sacked for lying and misdirecting your executive. In the event that you don’t meet the age or capability necessity, then don’t make a difference and on the off chance that you do, simply let them know reality about what you genuinely have, that may even be the reason they will utilize you.

5• Inclining your present manager or business

Regardless of where you work, you will dependably run over individuals who venture on your toes. Individuals can do things that are even exploitative and infrequently, they can truly drive you up the wall. Be that as it may, mal-adjusting those amid a Interview will be your ‘Achilles slopes’. Unwittingly, you are sending a sign to this imminent business that you will do likewise to them if you need to leave their organisation. Watch it!

6• Not knowing some fundamental data about the organisation

By what method would you be able to claim to need to work for an association and you don’t know anything about them? It is verging on sure that one of the inquiries you would be asked amid a Interview is, “The thing that do you think about this organization?” And on the off chance that you say you don’t know anything in regards to the organization, then you are not qualified to work there. Visit their site in the event that they have one. Read about them, when it was set up, what historic point accomplishments they have, and their present staff quality. Become more acquainted with their vision/statements of purpose and center qualities. These are things that demonstrate to you truly have enthusiasm for the organisation.

7• Being excessively anxious or excessively sure

The two are similar working in inverse headings. Being excessively apprehensive shows absence of certainty and being excessively sure hints at a haughtiness. You have to make a parity by being even tempered. Answer addresses essentially without over decorating. Furthermore being excessively sure may appear you are not a cooperative person; somebody who may be bossing everybody around without listening to others’ suppositions.

8• Being discourteous

It is likely that in a few occurrences there will be individuals in the Interview board you are more established than or more qualified than. Be that as it may, that is not motivation to be inconsiderate to them. As of right now, your age and capability don’t make a difference. What makes a difference is to be unassuming and deferentially react to inquiries postured to you. On the off chance that you discover yourself being inconsiderate, apologise courteously and proceed onward. Likewise don’t get excessively close with individuals from the board. Simply be well mannered and neighborly
