Not focusing on the interviewer

Not getting to the interview at a reasonable time .

What you do during an interview tells that person what you’re going to be like to work with, so if you’re late for an interview, they already think you’re going to be late to work.

Not being polite to people beyond the interviewer

Many candidates at job interviews believe they need only to be polite to those interviewing them and any other person they come across as unimportant.

You must treat everyone you encounter during your interview with kindness and a smile.

Your responses to commonly asked interviews aren’t satisfactory

Every answer in an interview has to be about why you’re the best person for the job, period and it is one of the mistakes candidates make during interviews to digress.

Not being professional

Speaking negatively about people you once worked with is unprofessional, but it also makes the interviewer wonder if you will also speak negatively about them someday in the future.

Showing pride when answering questions

Displaying pride can make interviewers feel as if you are talking down to them.  Instead, discuss your skills and accomplishments in connection with how they can help the company and in a straightforward, not boasting, manner.
