1. Do not talk only about yourself

Yes, it’s an interview, a.k.a., a Q&A session in which you are expected to answer questions. However, it’s red flag if you talk only about yourself.

At least a few times let other people’s names pop up. When asked about your career aspirations, you’d ideally want to throw out the name of some successful person you admire. Or, if you are asked about your previous experience and how it led to where you are now, hopefully mention someone positively —be it an influential colleague, boss, or client—in the answer.

2. Do not take credit for everything

Yes, an interview is a place to sell your accomplishments and pitch your potentials, be careful so that you don't sound like someone who takes credit of any on-the-job success as a one-man show.

3. Do not avoid discussing your shortcomings
