What to avoid doing in an interview
April 29th, 2010 | Interviews
There are many activities that you should avoid during a job interview. If you want to have a good chance of getting the job in question, refrain from all of the following while the interview is in progress:
- Stabbing – self explanatory really
- Whaling – as well as being messy and disruptive, this will also make you look heartless
- Whoreing – the interviewer may question your moral fibre
- Hula-hooping/skipping – any gleeful childlike activity will make you seem juvenile and possible even retarded
- Extortion – it doesn’t even need to be the interviewer who is the victim. If they overhear you extorting or blackmailing someone over the phone, this might be enough to jeopardise your chances of landing that junior administrative position.
