Here is the list of things you should not do at the time of an interview:

  • don't be late
  • don't swear or use slang words
  • don't slouch in your seat or do anything that makes you look uninterested
  • don't smoke
  • don't lie: the interviewer may see through you. Even if you get the job, your employer can dismiss you if they find out that you have not been honest
  • don't let your nerves show too much; a few nerves are normal but extreme nerves will affect your performance. Use breathing techniques and try to remember that it's not a life and death situation - there are plenty of jobs out there!
  • don't be arrogant and assume you've got the job. Nothing turns off employers more than someone who is disrespectful and over-confident
  • don't discuss controversial topics such as religion, politics and gender relations
  • don't read from notes or your CV - you should be familiar enough with your own history to be able to talk about it unprompted
  • don't criticise former employers or colleagues. Interviewers may mark you down as a troublemaker and a gossip
  • don't argue with the interviewer, no matter what. Remember to keep things positive!
