Ruining an interview: Three easy mistakes

1) Not having anything prepared – Avoid using the words “umm” and “ahh”. Using “umm” makes people sound inarticulate and short on things to say. If you are at a lack of words repeat the question they just asked you. It makes them think you are listening and gives you time to formulate a response.

2) Not talking about you – When looking to hire a person employers check credentials, and what you’re able to do but also who you are as a person. The only way they will gather that information is by you telling them.

3) Not doing any research - Know the company name, look up their goods/services and know a bit about the company history.
