How not to behave in an interview

Simple enough things often remain unaccounted for, and applicants continue to make typical mistakes, especially young professionals.
Being late

“Accuracy is the courtesy of kings and the duty of all good people.” Being late for your first meeting with the employer will not bring anything good. But there are different situations in life, therefore, if you are still late for a meeting - do not forget to warn about it. Read more in the article “Is it so late?”
Appearance

Do not think that an interview is not a job and you can neglect the business appearance. Jeans, an unusual hairstyle, sneakers and T-shirts with interesting prints can be enjoyed by people of creative professions: photographers, designers, models, etc. If you do not belong to them, then do not forget about the appropriate style of clothing and neatness.
Self-presentation

The ability to give oneself well also plays an important role. The employer will have less interest in the candidate, who stumbles through the word and is nervous at every question. But it’s also not worth looking like a superman - find a middle ground. Be an open and friendly person, get ready for meetings in advance.

Professional issues

Forget the phrase “I don’t know” and the like if you are asked questions related to your specialization. Do not worry, think out loud, give examples, but in no case do not shrug.
Interest

An interview is not an interrogation. To show your interest, you should also ask the interviewer questions. Indeed, not only you should approach the company, but the company should be yours - the only way to achieve good results in business.

Lying

Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to embellish reality a little, but still a lie is not the best start for a new business relationship. In addition, this can become the reason for dismissal if the truth is revealed in the process of work. Read more about this in the article “Lying in the CV and in the interview”.
Reasons for a job change

In almost any interview you will be asked about the reasons for the job change. You should always have a ready answer. At the same time, you should refrain from negative reviews about the past employer, your motivation should be logical and transparent.
Mobile phone

Do not forget to turn off your mobile phone during an interview, or at least put it on silent mode. Nothing should distract you from the conversation.
Position and company

You must know and understand exactly the requirements for the position you are applying for and the responsibilities that you will fulfill. It will be strange if you are required to have a good knowledge of a foreign language, and you do not speak it, although this is clearly stated in the vacancy announcement. You must also have information about the company and its activities. “Why do you want to work in this particular company?” - prepare an answer to this question in advance.
