Finding a Job Series – Common Interview Mistakes

Talking too much. Talking too much is generally a sign of being nervous. Rambling does not impress anyone. If anything, it infuriates people. You do not want your interviewer to be annoyed with you as this lessens the chance of you being hired. If you think there is a chance that you will get nervous during your interview then try practicing your interview. With the information you have been able to dig up about the company, come up with a list of questions you think that they may ask you. Practice going over them with a stop watch. See how long it takes you to answer a question clearly and concisely. If you want, try videotaping yourself so that you can watch for any rambling. Being prepared is a sure fire way of making sure that you do not get so nervous and end up talking too much.
