I reached out to ten folks who’ve been in the job search coaching business to help identify the most commons mistakes job interviewees make:
- Being unprepared, including not doing homework to understand the employer and the job,
- Not using your understanding of the prospective employer to ask your own questions,
- Being late,
- Speaking poorly of a former employer or boss,
- Lying,
- Failing to give responses that showcase results you have provided that can help them contribute to their success,
- Having a bad attitude,
- Not following up after the interview,
- Sharing too much information that isn’t relevant to the job, and
- Inappropriate dress.
The good news is each of these mistakes can be easily avoided—prepare, prepare, prepare.
It’s a new day. Let’s make it a great one.
