What not to do at an interview.
Interviews are not get together, where you give a high-five
and say – “Hey buddy! I am looking for a job. You wanna hire me?”
Interview are organized to select PROFESSIONALS. You have to
look, act and sound professional. Not cool, not hot, just professional; period.
Don’t go to an interview, listening to an i-pod or texting.
Of course, you wouldn’t do all this, while entering the interview room.
But I am talking not just about the interview room, but even the venue. You think sipping a coke or chewing a gum is cool?
Save it for some other day.

Talking or texting on your cell phone while sitting in the
waiting room for your turn can be the reason; why you were not there in the final
list, when everything went so wonderfully.
They are looking for some serious (read - boring) guy for
the job, who can manage two hours without talking to his girlfriend.
And one more thing, do you find the receptionist to be hot?
Control!
Control!
Don’t you dare to flirt with her.
Anything which you do. can spoil your prospects of getting selected.

I hope, I don’t need to remind you for being there in time.
But an added caution – Prepare for reaching there an hour before.
Anything from a traffic jam to a flat tire can steal away your dream job from you.
Even if it’s a campus interview, there is always a chance of a form, which you forgot to get printed. Being prepared for such situations, lets you face these difficult situation calmly.

One more thing, keep a pen and a couple of papers, along with the resume. In case, they ask you to explain
an idea, in an interview; a pen and a paper always help.
Of course, they can provide you with that. But it is always better to stay prepared – isn’t it?

Interviews gives you a chance to shine.
What you say and what you do, is going to either get you your dream job, or knock you out.
It doesn't take much to make an impression – good or bad.
Remember, if you haven't taken your time to dress appropriately or if you say the "wrong" thing, or act in an “inappropriate” manner, it will be over before you know it.
