When the company you want to work for wholeheartedly accepts your resume, chances are you’re now being set up for an interview. There can be one interview, two interviews, even three and these interviews will be one indication as to what results you’ll be getting – if you’ll be part of the company or not. There are a lot of tips and guides on what to answer during an interview but very few think of the “what-not-to-do.” But what really are the things you should not say during a job interview? Here are five (5) of them.
Although it’s already on your resume, the interviewer is expecting you to have an answer that is beyond the written report. This is why you should not include everything on your resume so that you will have the ability and the capacity to communicate with the interviewer by word.
TIP: Even if it can be found on your resume, still find answers that would impress your interviewer. Things like job experience, skills, and weaknesses, personal encounters, and so on.
This is probably one of the misconceptions as regards to doing an interview. It is not right to answer that you are a perfectionist when you are thrown the question of your weakness because not being able to present a weakness is bad – not knowing what your weaknesses are is worse.
TIP: Do not be afraid to tell what your weaknesses are because it is one way for them to hone you, to train you. If you happen to be unaware of what your weakness are then know yourself a little better.
