Job interviewing mistakes are something we can avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that on average 33% of hiring managers decide\nwhether to hire a candidate within the first 90 seconds of meeting them? It\u2019s a\ncrucial time to make a strong first impression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it: hiring managers will only have a physical impression of you based upon what happens in one short <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/best-ways-to-answer-tell-me-about-yourself-in-job-interviews\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"912\">interview<\/a>. Reason enough to prepare yourself and prevent making any rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/best-ways-to-answer-what-is-your-greatest-weakness-in-a-job-interview\/\">job interviewing<\/a> mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article we will show you the top ten most common\nmistakes people make in <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/20-job-interview-red-flags-you-shouldnt-ignore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">job interviews<\/a>. We\u2019ll show you how to avoid these and\nmake a solid impression that can get you hired. Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 Common Job Interviewing Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.&nbsp; Unprofessional Clothing and Appearance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry, but in the interview world hiring managers have every right to judge a book by its cover. Surveys have noted that more than half of hiring managers have eliminated a candidate from the running because of their appearance or dress. <br> <br> When you go on interviews, dress professionally or at least wear your Sunday best! Wouldn\u2019t you want to hire somebody with sensible clothing and good hygiene standards? This said, it\u2019s worth checking out the company culture on this one. Whether it\u2019s pervasively formal business attire or casual cool, get a heads up on what people are wearing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.&nbsp; Not Practicing for Interview Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to get a variety of questions, including some that may stump you. According to international business coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/chriswestfall\/2019\/08\/28\/how-to-succeed-in-your-next-job-interview-the-5-step-story-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Chris Westfall<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>In every <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/10-best-ways-to-get-more-executive-job-interviews\/\">job interview<\/a>, you will be asked situational questions &#8211; questions that ask you to describe what you did in a particular circumstance. The interviewer will offer a variation on this theme: &#8220;Tell me about a time when&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;How would you describe a situation where&#8230;.&#8221; The purpose of this line of questioning is to allow the interviewer to see your thought processes and understand how you behaved (typically under pressure).&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter which type of <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/15-common-job-interview-questions-and-how-to-best-answer-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">questions you prepare for<\/a>. The purpose of general interview practice is that it readies your mind for interview questions and the lateral thinking that is needed to answer them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.&nbsp; Not Doing Your Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They won\u2019t be terribly impressed with you if you walk into an interview without having done your due diligence. Hiring managers will smell this a mile away. Take the time to research the company, the people, the position, and come up with relevant questions that pertain to the process. You should have enough information to ask a few questions and elucidate how you would add value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.&nbsp; Talking too Much<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most typical <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/guide-to-executive-job-interviews-the-how-tos-whys-and-best-practices\/\">job interviewing<\/a> mistakes. You&#8217;re nervous, which can make you chatty. You&#8217;re uncomfortable with any conversational pauses, so you want to fill them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody wants to hear your life story. They want to know about your work experience and what your future goals are, so they can see if you are a good fit for the company. Any firm counts new hires as an investment. Hiring managers are looking for candidates that are succinct and describe how their work history has prepared them for the position. <br> <br> Remember that the best interviews flow like a good conversation. It\u2019s a good opportunity to build rapport while learning more about a position. It\u2019s an even better opportunity when you showcase what you can bring to the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.&nbsp; Lying in Any Way<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth will set you free! CareerBuilder did a study that noted how an entire 51% of hiring managers have caught a lie on a resume. It\u2019s never a good idea to stretch the truth on your resume.&nbsp; Is a lie worth it on a resume when you must keep it up during the interview, and throughout your entire employment, if you get hired? That\u2019s what we would call digging a hole! <br> <br> Keep in mind that employers often conduct background checks, call your previous employers, and check your references. It\u2019s a much better deal to be upfront about your experience, employment, education, and anything else that comes up. Picture yourself in the shoes of a hiring manager. Wouldn\u2019t it turn you off, if you caught a candidate lying? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.&nbsp; Not Asking Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Show a bit of interest! Take an interest in the company, job, and the hiring manager. Find out about who they are as a person. You\u2019d be surprised by how a little bit of sincere small talk can build rapport while showing that you\u2019re an authentic person. <br> <br> If the interviewer asks you if you have any questions, make sure that you have <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/executive-interview-what-questions-do-you-ask\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">solid follow up questions<\/a> about the position. Or at the very least have some prepared general questions to ask about the role and company. Having thoughtful follow up questions attests to your professionalism and shows your eagerness for the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.&nbsp; Failing to Exercise (Your Mind!)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from practicing for interview questions, it\u2019s a good\nidea to practice some mental exercises before the big interview. While it\u2019s\ngreat that people are keen on physical exercise, we often forget that our brain\nis a muscle also! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One great tip is to practice or take a cognitive ability test.\nThis is a fantastic way to exercise your deductive, numeral, logical, and\nverbal reasoning skills. It\u2019s also a good addition to your resume to showcase\nyour cognitive aptitude \u2013 especially when these tests are increasingly being\nused by employers to screen candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.&nbsp; Rolling in Late<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First impressions are key, right? Imagine the impression you\u2019ll\nmake on a hiring manager if you arrive 15 minutes late. You\u2019re huffing and\npuffing, out of breath, and apologizing profusely because the traffic was so unexpectedly\nbad today. It happens to people a lot, but not if they allow plenty of travel\ntime just in case something happens. <br>\n<br>\nSimply put \u2013 manage your time. There shouldn\u2019t be any reason that you\u2019re late. Give\nyourself ample time. It\u2019s okay to arrive early. Unless there\u2019s a widespread\nnatural disaster or Aunt Sally died, you should be able to get there on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.&nbsp; Using your Phone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may seem like an obvious one, don\u2019t answer calls\nor text during your interview. To be safe, turn the phone on silent prior to\nheading in. You want to be focused on the task at hand, not fumbling around\nwhile you try to mute an incoming phone call. <br>\n<br>\nResist your temptation to answer your phone. It\u2019s rude and indicates that you\u2019re\neasily distracted . . . two undesirable traits in any job candidate. Be present\nand engaged in the conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10.&nbsp; Badmouthing Past Employers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best not to talk smack about your ex-boss, co-workers,\nor previous company. You might be surprised about how word gets around. It\u2019s\nalso very telling about your personality if you only have negative things to\nsay about people. You want your potential employer to know that you work well\nwith people, no matter the situation.<br>\n<br>\nIf you left an employer on a bad note, be tactful and describe how you overcame\nthe obstacles instead of merely spouting negativity. This simultaneously\nshowcases your lateral thinking abilities and how well they complement your\npeople skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it! With some\nplanning, a little practice and good common sense, you can avoid the above 10\ncommon interviewing mistakes. Happy job hunting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More About Job Interviewing and Executive Job Search<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-land-brand-and-ace-executive-job-interviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">How to Land, Brand and Ace Executive Job Interviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/5-must-dos-to-land-more-executive-job-interviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">5 Must-Do\u2019s To Land More Executive Job Interviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/are-you-executive-job-search-ready\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">7 Questions To See If You\u2019re Prepared for Executive Job Search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-to-work-with-executive-recruiters-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">How to Work with Executive Recruiters<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the guest author<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10008 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10008 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_0552-2-e9e30c58250c8f6992b44076d7bfbda6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Darcy Cudmore is a journalism graduate who now enjoys content writing.
