Picture the scene…
You’ve been running around for weeks, maybe even months doing everything you can to try and get yourself an interview for your dream job. You have given your CV a meticulous makeover, bought a brand new “I’d be amazing at this job” suit, practiced interview questions relentlessly, got yourself a great night’s sleep and then in one foul swoop you go and ruin your chances during the interview.
It’s truly a horrible feeling! The worst part is that quite often the mistake you have made has very little relevance to your ability to do the job well, however in today’s incredibly high pressured and competitive jobs market, it is just enough to swing the interviewers opinion in favour of someone else!
OK, so it’s not the end of the world if this happens, but it can be a huge disappointment and a significant blow to your confidence. We’ve put together a little list of some of the things you absolutely should not do in an interview to help you avoid shooting yourself in the foot.
1. Ask the question “How much does the role pay?”
2. Speak ill of your previous employer
4. Ask the question “What exactly does the job entail” or “What exactly does the company do?”
