Appearance: Many candidates do not believe at their appearance as
much as they should. First impressions are quickly made in the first three to
five minutes. For details regarding Appearance, refer to the message and most
important Interview Etiquette.
Not
relating skills which employer’s need:
A list of sterling accomplishments means little if you can’t relate them to a
company’s requirements. Reiterate your skills and convince the employer that
you can do the same for this company. You will give them your best.
Poor
Attitude: Many candidates come across as
arrogant. While employers can afford to be self-centred, candidates cannot.
Lack of research: It’s understandable when candidates have not learned
about the job,
company or industry prior to the interview.
Visit and use the Internet to research the about the company, and then talk
with friends, family members and other professionals about the opportunity
before each meeting.
Not
willingly to know the answers to interviewers’ questions: Anticipate and rehearse answers to tough questions about
your background, such as recent termination or an employment gap. Practicing
with your spouse or a friend before the
interview will help you to frame
intelligent responses. You may also consult with some experts too..
Relying too much on
Resume: Employers hire people not
papers. Although a resume can list qualifications and skills,
it’s the interview conversation that will represent you
as a committed, responsive team player…
Lack
of career path: Job hunters
who are not clear about their career goals often can not spot or commit to
appropriate opportunities. Not knowing what you want wastes everybody’s time.
In the views of many experts, large number of candidates has no career path,
for example if a Bank wants to hire a cashier, they receives many cvs from
those candidates who has some different education background, who has
marketing, finance, hr, etc, educational background will also apply for this
post. This is mostly happens in Asia specially India and Pakistan…
Not
having questions to ask: Asking
questions shows your interest in the company and the position. Prepare a list
of intelligent questions in advance which a candidate may ask.
Too much unassuming
nature: Being conditioned not to brag,
candidates are sometimes reluctant to describe their accomplishments. Explaining how
you reach difficult or impressive goals helps represent you as a committed,
responsive team player…
Handling Salary
issues: Many Candidates often ask about salary
and benefit packages in too early. If they believe an
employer is interested, they may demand inappropriate amounts and price
themselves out of the jobs. Candidates who ask for too little undervalue
themselves or appear desperate. You may demand a handsome salary, avoid from for
too much or too
