Participating in an Interview and asking questions is key for one to be hired but are the questions asked relevant?
It is crucial for every prospective employee to ask questions which do not show that you are just after personal interest and not that of the company you ought to work for.
Below are things one should not say during an interview.
Sorry I’m late
Career coach Alex Simon says that you should make sure you are the interview at the right that to avoid you asking for forgiveness for being late. No employer will trust you with the job because if you can be late on the interview date, what about after you have gotten the job?
Can I answer my call?
Make sure you don't answer a call or text during a job interview because it really draws a bad impression about you. You should ensure anything that might disrupt you is out of reach.
I’m perfect
Never mention this whenever asked about your weakness. There is no one who is perfect and if you say so, the interviewer will know you are lying and will not be surely hired.
I’m Interested in this job because it will give me...
Do not show that you are looking for the job for your own interest. You should put a focus on the company only.
“Talk about what you will contribute to a prospective new employer,” says leadership coach Susan Bernstein.
“I'm not sure if I'm a good fit for this job, but..."
Spotlight your strengths rather than outlining your doubts and deficits.
“Everyone is unsure until they're hired. You're not actually expected to be able to perform 100 per cent of the job on the first day," says Bernstein.
