\"Interview\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finding a job comes with a lot of stress, pressure and tension; it isn’t always a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n

The pressure of being perfect for an interview can cause job seekers to forget even some important things like:<\/p>\n

1. BE COMFORTABLE<\/b><\/p>\n

A lot of job seekers become scared and jittery in days leading to the interview that they forget to be comfortable, be themselves and just relax.<\/p>\n

You are a better version of yourself when you are relaxed and comfortable.<\/p>\n

2. DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT THE COMPANY<\/b><\/p>\n

Some interviewers expect you to have an ample knowledge about the company, and truly, you ought to know about the company you want to work with.<\/p>\n

Knowing about the company shows your interest in the company — and many employers want to see an interest. A lot of potential employees have lost their chances because they didn’t do their research about the company, and when asked about the company, they fumbled.<\/p>\n

3. YOUR CV <\/b><\/p>\n

This is another common high-profile mistake most job seekers make year in, year out. Your CV should be updated regularly and it should suit the job you are applying for.<\/p>\n

4. ASK QUESTIONS<\/b><\/p>\n

Ask questions about things you aren’t clear of at the end of the interview. Ask intelligent questions, ask when you would get a feedback, ask what the company is looking for, but don’t ask about the pay.<\/p>\n

5. SMILE <\/b><\/p>\n

Don’t let the pressure of the interview overwhelm you that you forget to put on a smile at the end of the interview and shake your interviewer. It’s simple courtesy, and one that could take you places. A warm smile has its own magic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you been making these mistakes? Maybe it’s time to learn from them.<\/p>\n
