It is the day of your big interview. You have rehearsed, selected proper attire, and arrived ten minutes early. But here are some interview DON’Ts that you don’t want to miss.
1. Don’t allow your cell phone to sound during the interview. (If it does, apologize quickly and ignore it.) Don’t take a cell phone call. Don’t look at a text message.
2. Don’t chew gum or smell like smoke.
3. Don’t act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment.
4. Don’t give the impression you are only interested in salary; don’t ask about salary and benefits issues until the subject is brought up by your interviewer.
5. Don’t make negative comments about previous employers or professors (or others).
These are just a few things to remember when interviewing. Check out the full list of interview do’s and don’ts. Have you done any of these? Do you have any funny interview stories?
