Work interviews: the worst mistakes made by young people

Because of the majority of young people today, work interviews such as skilled and intelligent professionals are presented today, they are human and make mistakes that can cost them good job opportunities.Business Insider compiled the following list of errors that could rule out the application of a young candidate for a job, although his CV says that he is the one for the position.1.Get too early.It may seem like a good idea to get early, but exaggerating it can press the interviewer to meet with you.A schedule was established for a reason.It should never be late, but five minutes before the indicated time are enough to leave a good impression.Tip: look for a near coffee and wait there until the time of the interview.two.Be too general.You have an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and skills, so be as specific as possible when answering the questions.Do not answer the questions with a "yes" or "no".The interviewer should not have the perception that he or she is carrying the thread of the conversation.Tip: Check the projects of which you are most proud before going to your interview.It is easy to forget the details, even if it is your own work.3.Do not carry a printed copy of your CVLleve a printed copy of your CV, even if you have previously sent an email.This shows that you are organized and prepared, and it is less work for the interviewer.Tip: carry several copies in case you are interviewed by more than one person.4.Committing typographic mistakes in your presentation letter or CVSU written language maste.Typographic mistakes make him look unintelling, although intelligent people make mistakes all the time.Tip: Ask someone to edit their letter and CV before sending them.

5.Have bad breath.Everyone suffers from dry mouth in the office.Tip: Chew a gum and check it out five minutes before the interview.6.Do not tell a good story about your life.Who are you, for what is good, and what do you want to do with your life?The interviewer wants a quick and clear story of his life and his career.In Business Insider, telling stories literally what they do, but in any company, communication is key.If you cannot communicate who you are quickly, you will not get the job.Tip: Write your story beforehand and take it with a friend.7.Be too sarcastic or negative.No one expects you to be an animator or cheerlead.But if they hire it, it will spend a lot of time with your coworkers so your potential employer will not want you to end the good mood of the group.Tip: just nice and smile.8.Be arrogant.Of course, this or that company is interested in hiring it.But that does not mean that you are a rock star, and that company will not collapse without you.Tip: The fact that he got the interview does not mean that he got the work.You still have to promote your skills.9.Not knowing anything about the field for which they are interviewing it.If you are interviewing it for a job that requires you to be aware of the technology industry, you will obviously ask you what is most interesting about technology in your opinion.So if your answer is "mmm ...", then they will be less impressed.Tip: Prepare!Literally write some conversation points in a notes before reaching the interview.It will help you in case you "block".10.Send attached documents via email.Nobody likes to download email attachments due to the risk of malware that this implies.If you use only text and links in your application via email, those interested can see your information on your smartphones and laptops.Tip: its CV or curriculum vitae is better visualized as an URL page on LinkedIn.The examples of their work are more easily seen if they are sent as links in email.eleven.Wear inappropriate clothes for a job interview.We understand.Is young and great.And maybe his pole is like the interviewer too.But it is better to wear formal clothes not to surprise anyone.Tip: make the interviewer see that you are a safe bet wearing a shirt and tie (men) or being conservative but with style (women).Even in a video conference interview you must demonstrate that the job opportunity is taken seriously.1two.Neglect the details during a video conference interview.We often use Skype and Google Hangout to participate in work interviews.While the occasion may seem casual, it is necessary to prepare attending the details;For example, in the background you should avoid having stacked dishes in the sink or clothes hanging from the bedroom door.On one occasion, Business Insider remembers that a applicant interrupted the conversation when his cat jumped out of an open window, although they contracted that person anyway.Tip: take a screenshot of what can be seen in your laptop to order your room before the interview if necessary.13.Try to negotiate your salary at the first meeting.We understand that you try to make sure you don't want to waste anyone's time.However, asking questions about salary very early make him see how a rookie.Tip: Remember that this is a process.The farther it comes through the process, the potential employer will demonstrate more interest in hiring it, thus strengthening its negotiation position.14.Use a photo of your children or pets, or a bad image of yourself, on your Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ accounts.If you are using email accounts to apply for a job, then the interviewer will also see your profile when you send your CV.Tip: I sent test messages to a friend who tells how he looks at his email and social networks before others, and if necessary, fix some things in his accounts.fifteen.Forget to track email.Sometimes companies reject a good candidate because they usually never receive a follow -up email.Companies want to recruit people who really want to work for them, and a simple thanks note will give you extra points in the selection process.Tip: You do not need to write something great, just a message where you offer to answer any other employer's potential question.16.Put your ‘objectives’ at the top of the CV.Young candidates fill their CV with pompas and stereotyped statements about their professional goals.Do not do this! Tip: Companies want to see only a simple list of their training and work experience, and perhaps a list of other useful skills at the bottom.

17.Do not provide a link to your LinkedIn profile.We will not get tired of insisting on this: when one has to compare hundreds of CV, LinkedIn is really useful because it makes the information of all candidates look the same - and this facilitates the interviewer's work to know who is the most indicated and who does not.Tip: A LinkedIn URL link in an email is much easier to check than a Word or PDF attached document.18.Eat a snack during the interview.If you are discussing a job opportunity with a potential employer in a coffee, you do not ask for a tremendous sandwich while talking about the matter.It is a distraction.Tip: Take coffee, tea, water or nothing if they offer you.
