Not Asking Questions
"No, I don't have any questions."
There's absolutely no way that you have done enough research to know everything about the company, position or culture of the job you're interviewing for. When you don't come prepared with any questions, you're showing your interviewers a lack of interest, enthusiasm and curiosity.
Arrive with at least five questions to ask your potential employer. Say this instead: "What will I be required to accomplish in the first six months in this position?"
Without a doubt, landing your dream job takes a lot of effort. From researching and applying for jobs to resume updating and finally landing an interview, a lot of hard work goes into being ready for your big moment. You've put in the time to rehearse and know what you're going to say, now it's time for your interview. But what if you've rehearsed too much?
Even if your resume is a star, if you come off sounding like a robot or lack real feeling in your answers, you could end up missing out on a great opportunity.
