Your interview days are very important to you. After years of hardworking study you are going to enter job market. Remember your competitor breathe on your shoulder and may make your task difficult. So make a good preparation for interview day and don’t make any silly mistake

Some common mistake is done by interviewee that may spoil his or her dream. So try to follow the following guidelines to avoid any silly mistakes:

Inappropriate Dress
Dress appropriately for the type of job interview. Always dress in more conservatively than you would normally. Make sure that you are not wearing outlandish colors, showing too much skin, or wearing too much jewelry.

Delay
Do not be late to your job interview. Rather, arrive around 10-15 minutes early so you can settle in, fill out paperwork, and allow your interviewer to get ready

Lack of preparation
You know the typical job questions, so have them prepared. Know ahead of time your answers to questions such as, “What are you strengths and weaknesses?

Lack of Information
If you are going on a job interview and know nothing about the company, than you are mistaken. You must learn as much as possible about the position and company prior to your interview.

Ringing of cell phones
Make sure your phone is off prior to the interview. Nothing is ruder or more disrespectful to an interviewer than listening to another ring.

Checking the time
Be careful not to glance at your watch or the wall clock in the middle of your interview. Perhaps you should take off your watch prior to the interview so that you have no chance of accidentally looking at your wrist.

Place Your Demands Early
You should not ask for your desired salary too early. It may make a bad impression to the interviewer. In addition you should never make demands at an interview. Even if you have reached a professional status that enables you to make certain demands in the workplace, the interview is never the place for it.

False Information
Tell exactly what you have. Don’t try to exaggerate. Remember honesty is the most venerable quality in a worker and an employer and interviewer will respect your truth and honesty.
