In the article Five Deadly Interview Mistakes, Carl Wellenstein
states information about the five most common mistakes that the
interview candidates make during the interview process. Wellenstein
also gives some information about how to have a good and proper
attitude during the interview.The first common mistake is the
candidates think that the interview is all about himself, so most
of them talk dominantly during the interview. Remember that the
interviewer does not interesting about your experience or skill.
So, try to manage yourself during the interview, with speak no more
than 60% of the timeA second commons mistake is the candidates fail
to translate the skill and experience that you did in the previous
company to the new company. Keep remember that the interviewer in
new company does not know about the terms or words that your
previous company use, so it is your job to describe and explain it
to the new company. A third commons mistake is the interviewee does
not prepare well. If you lack of time, you can, at least, do a
research about the company itself and you should anticipate some
question about yourself and the quality that you have to fit the
new company.A fourth common mistake is lack of candor. Everyone has
ever do mistake in progressing their career. When the interviewer
asked about your mistakes, admit them, and make them attractive to
the interviewer by sharing the interesting sight.And the last one
is the interviewees who do not ask any questions to the interviewer
about the company or job, may be get a rejection. You should use
your knowledge about the company to ask some questions to your
interviewer which would not be readily available from an interview
search. These all are the common mistakes that the candidates do.
Try to always avoid these mistakes and make a good impression to
the interviewer, so you can get the job and have a bright
future.
