In an extremely competitive job market, I wonder how hard it must be to compete against thousands of candidates for the same role? Even a minute mistake could lose you a job opportunity! So how do we reduce the chances of error? Well, avoid these 5 mistakes during interviews!
1) Lack of Preparation : Showing up for an interview with zero preparation automatically ends your race before even starting. Research about the company and the role is highly valuable in order to deliver the best responses.
2) Weak Communication Skills : Weak communication skills massively affect your presentation and thoughts resulting in a bad performance. To convey the right thoughts, you can practise the basics of communication during your preparation.
3) Neglecting Body Language : Achievements and qualifications aren't the only things that recruiters look for. Body language also counts as it portrays your confidence and calmness. In fact, a balanced body language can make you look like a standout performer.
4) Being Overly Negative : Criticising former employers or speaking negatively about past experiences can raise red flags for interviewers. Focus on framing challenges as opportunities for growth and highlight positive outcomes.
5) Failing to Follow-up : A thank-you email or note post-interview is more than just common courtesy, it's an opportunity to leave a lasting impression.
