How to Sabotage Your Job Interview

Here are some quick tips for job interview

1. Don’t be late. Being late means that you cannot organize your time, and have no respect of others time..

Do: Phone ahead to ask directions or do an online search and print out directions. Or use your GPS. If you really can’t be there on time, call as soon as you realize you’ll be late.

2. Don’t be rude. Texting or taking calls is a big No No.

Do: Switch off your cell phone and give the interviewer your undivided attention.

3. Don’t be a ****. Having a bad breath, odor or cloths is the worst thing you can do to your re****tion.

Do: Remember the rule: Dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

4. Don’t be clueless. Being unaware of the industry and job responsibilities is a sign that you don’t care

Do: Make sure to research the company before you go to the interview. Today, with Google and other search engines, there are no excuses not to be informed before you go.

5. Don’t be disorganized. Dig in your purse or pockets for a folded-up, dog-eared CV. Ask the interviewer to refresh your memory as to exactly which job the interview is for .

Do: Get your act together before you go! In the employer’s mind, being disorganized equates with being irresponsible and possibly incapable.

6. Don’t talk too little. Sit there mutely, responding to questions with nods, one-word answers and the occasional mumble, while staring at the floor.

Do: Go online and check out commonjob interview questions and answers, and think about how you would respond.

7. Don’t talk too much. Blabering too much and not to the point. Finding that balance is one of thejob interview skills

Do: Talk about 50% of the time, and listen for the rest. One hiring expert says many people have talked themselves right out of a job at the interview, by not knowing when to be quiet.
