Things to Avoid During the Job Interview

                As the person being interviewed, you need to make sure you avoid doing these:
  • ·         Wearing casual clothes – An interview is very professional and you will be expected to look so. You won’t be expected to wear shorts or even slippers. This doesn't mean that you should overdo it; you just need to look professional.
  • ·         Making jokes – You are not expected to make jokes because this might show the interviewer that you don’t take things seriously. A job interview is a serious thing. Remember that you are not there to make jokes, you are there to show your potential and that you can take things seriously and in a mature way.
  • ·         Swearing – You need to avoid saying bad words even if you are used to doing so. As I said, you are trying to show how mature you are in an interview. Saying bad words will just show the opposite.
  • ·         Talking too much – Some people think that if you talk too much you will do a better job in an interview. This isn't always true; sometimes you will be asked a question that needs a direct answer with minimum talking.
             
                A job interview is a professional type of interview. There are things that you need to avoid doing in order to insure you have a professional interview and therefore better chances of getting the job you applied for. Things like swearing and making jokes might be considered the most important things to avoid but there are also some other important things that you need to avoid in order to have a successful interview.
