• The biggest job interview mistakes, according to LinkedIn

  • The 10 biggest interview mistakes, according to hiring managers: You won’t ‘get that same level of grace anymore’
    • The article from CNBC discusses common mistakes job candidates make during interviews, as identified by LinkedIn. These include not preparing adequately by researching the company or role, which can make candidates seem uninterested. Poor communication skills, such as failing to articulate thoughts clearly or not listening well, can also hinder the interview process. Additionally, having a negative attitude, like speaking poorly about previous employers or colleagues, can leave a bad impression. Both overconfidence and underconfidence are detrimental, as a balanced demeanor is crucial. Ignoring non-verbal cues, such as body language and eye contact, can negatively impact the interview. Lastly, not asking questions can signal a lack of interest or curiosity about the role and company. Proper preparation and self-awareness can help avoid these pitfalls.
