The Blunders to Avoid in a Job Interview
Whether it’s for a casual job to pay for college or a career job, a job interview can be a traumatic moment. When you finish your studies, lots of friends will give you advice on the right interview attitude. They will also be well advised to warn you about what not to do. Here are some blunders to avoid.
Don’t Appear Desperate
You’ve been looking for a job for a while now to the point where you’re willing to take anything. Even if this is the case, it should not be said. You need to put your best foot forward in the job interview, and appearing desperate will negatively impact the recruiter. If you mention that you will accept whatever is offered to you, you will seem to underestimate yourself.
You will also seem to have a vague idea of the company’s structure and not have sufficiently informed yourself. It is not a state of mind that the employer appreciates. Instead, they will seek to know if you are talented and what you can contribute to the company or the organization.
Do Not Be Late
One of the best ways to make a wrong impression is to be late for the job interview. This is a very bad signal to send to the employer. A delay reflects a poor sense of organization and even a lack of interest in the company. There is no magic formula to avoid arriving late. You should check the route to get to maintenance well in advance and leave early if traffic issues arise. If you are traveling by car, inquire about the availability and location of parking.

Do not be fooled by the employer who can take advantage of your inexperience to offer you a salary lower than what your qualifications indicate. You should not hesitate to negotiate. You will then show a certain assurance and confidence in your means which will impress the recruiter.
Treat Everyone With Respect
Even if you are applying for an important and prestigious job, you should never show contempt for subordinates. This can lead you to believe that you will not be the right person to meet with clients. Be kind to everyone who greets you and meets you when you come to the interview. In most companies, there is a team spirit and family spirit, and you have to show that you can fit in.
Don’t Denigrate Your Old Job
If you’ve ever had a job, you shouldn’t denigrate it. This is the way to be served with a refusal. Your professional reputation is in danger. Employers do not like workers who risk damaging their reputation. Instead, highlight your need to take on new challenges and emphasize your responsibilities with your former employer.…
