What should I avoid during a job interview?

The most common mistakes candidates make:

  • Arriving late without letting anyone know — that creates a bad first impression, even if it only happens once.
  • Knowing nothing about the company — you don't need to be an expert, but show that you've done your homework.
  • Speaking negatively about a previous employer — even if you had a difficult experience, stay professional.
  • Being vague about your expectations — just say what you are looking for, including regarding salary.
  • With holding information that will come out later — honesty always works better.

We always prepare our candidates well before an interview. You never walk into a room unprepared.
