10 Things Not to Do in an Interview

1. Do not arrive late. Your interviewer many not have the patience to wait for you.

2.  When being interviewed, do not lean on the interviewer’s desk.

3. Avoid  frequent glances at your watch. You might come off looking as an impatient person.

4.  Do not furnish any incorrect information about yourself on your resume, it could come against you any time even if you get the job.

5.  Do not talk too fast or too slow. Practice pacing your words at just the right speed. This would improve the attention of your listeners.

6.  Do not forget to maintain steady eye contact with the interviewer during the interview and in the case you are being interviewed by more than one person, alternate your gaze evenly.

7. Do not chew gum during an interview. Trust us, it is NOT cool.

8. Do not attend any calls you might get on your cell phone during an interview. Okay, it might just be another prospective employer calling, but wait until you complete your interview.

9. Do not badmouth your current or old employer. Keep in mind: It is a small world.

10. Do not forget to follow up after an interview.  It is a nice gesture to follow up with a thank you note reiterating your interest in the position and the company.
