Understanding the mistakes you need to avoid during an interview

·         Making a weakness seems to be a positive: Most interviewers will ask about any weakness that you might be having. In the traditional setup, you have been taught to take a weakness in a way that you portray yourself as a perfectionist, turning it into a positive. With such a response, it leaves the interviewer unimpressed.

Instead of using this approach, you should highlight a skill that you think requires some improvement and explain how you are planning to improve it. When the weakness question is asked, the interviewer doesn’t focus on your weakness, but they just want to know how different you are going to handle this common question. It talks a lot about your personality.

·         Not asking any question: You will know that the interview is over when you are asked if you have any questions. If your answer is no, then it means that you have given the worst answer as it is an indicator that you are either uninterested or not well prepared. Before you go for an interview, list a set of five questions like one where you ask the interviewer to tell you about their career.

·         Researching more about the company and not about yourself: Those who go for interviews mostly research about the company for which they are going to be interviewed. They fail to research about themselves by taking an inventory of their knowledge, career, and skills.

Coming up with a list of accomplishments will prepare you well so that you are in a position to answer immediately to whatever question you are asked concerning your experience.

You have to be prepared to discuss any part of your background. Most interviews will start with you being asked to talk about yourself. You should avoid babbling endlessly. Get the key points from your professional and academic and they have to be relevant to the current interview and what the interviewer would like to hear.
