2) Showing Up Late :
Unless you have a very good excuse and ring ahead to rearrange, turning up late for an appointment will not endear you to any employer.Having said that, obviously circumstances arise that are out of everyone’s control: train/bus delays, traffic, a flat tire or car troubles (for real – not just the typical excuse). It is better if you show up to the venue a little earlier which may saves you from being disqualified.

4) Sitting While Shaking Interviewer’s Hand :
Remaining seated is a slight sign of disrespect and even laziness. When the employer or IT recruiters enter the room, stand up and shake their hands.

7) Asking Questions :
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. You should come prepared with a list of questions to ask before any interview. Interviewers like people who want to learn, And actually like people who challenge. So, If additional questions come to mind during the meeting, simply write them down and ask when appropriate.

8) Badmouth :
As in society, people gravitate to those who remain positive. There is no room for negativity in an interview. If you had a bad “break up” with your last position, don’t dwell on it. Spin the positive experience that you gained from the technical job. If you didn’t like a former boss, simply state that you didn’t see eye to eye. Take the high road; don’t throw anyone under the bus.

9) Don’t Use Clichés :
I’ve heard them all. “I’m a problem-solver.” “I’m a real team player.” “I’m a perfectionist.” I don’t need to hear general descriptions of how great you are (especially those clichés). Avoid such cliches in interviews.

10) Avoid Chit Chat :
Never forget that this is an interview for a job. Be professional. Be business-like. This is not the forum to share intimate details of your personal life, the ups and downs of your marriage, or your recent break-up. It is the forum to discuss why you want the job and will be an asset to the company
