9 Ways to Mess Up Your Interview

Kayla Baxter | Excelle

Sometimes our faces and body language give away more than we’re trying to reveal, especially in a tense or nerve-wracking situation like a first job interview. In some cases, we might not even realize that our brow is furrowed or that we’re repeatedly tapping our toes much to the annoyance of a future employer.

CareerBuilder recently surveyed hundreds of different employers, asking which interview mistakes were their biggest pet peeves. Not surprisingly, most of these things were considered “the little things” – but as we all know, there’s a reason why they say it’s the little things that matter.

First, yawning?

    I should say, This is a great article! But attaching video(s) to support the article would be more appreciated. I love reading article like this, that somehow I could relate to and interact with Interesting! But isn't it harmful? It requires a lot of thinking before doing this.
    Looking forward to read more of it when i get back to your site.

    Great article! Very funny too! It is very sad that articles like this even have to be wrote. Very true about the social networking too. Many people, professionals in their industry, have not learned that once "it" is on the internet - that is it! It is published materials for everyone, including potential or current employers!

    This is one of the hardest things to do in an interview. I always try to think of intelligent questions, but never seem to quite get it. Thank you for this valuable information. I will definitely make note of these specific questions. The thing that stuck out to me the most is the fact to ask the interviewer a question, never thought of that!
