10 Mistakes To Avoid In a Job Interview

By Anna Johnson

Now before you think this is going to be another boring article about all the usual no-nos of job interviews - like "not dressing appropriately" or "being rude" - relax!

What follows is a hilarious list of absurd real-life mistakes that will have you shaking your head in wonder... how dumb can people be?

So... drumroll please...

The top 10 things NEVER to do in a job interview are:

1. Asking who the company is that's hiring (yes, someone interviewing for a job with my husband actually asked this).

2. Saying that you only want the job for the money (maybe... but please don't say this in the job interview!)

3. Revealing that you want the job to bring in money while you work on your own business.

4. Asking the interviewer if they'll interview your girlfriend instead (I'm serious - a guy was applying for a job and actually asked if the interviewer would speak to his girlfriend instead of him during the telephone interview!).

5. Saying flat out that you DON'T have the skills to do the job (yes, this happened to a friend of mine).

6. Ending the interview by saying that you'll give the company a call if you want the job (the same person who was interviewing for a job with my friend).

7. Telling the interviewer that they're wrong about something and getting into an argument with them.

8. Complaining about the work involved in the job (if you think this is a way to justify asking for a higher salary... forget it. You won't even get a job offer).

9. Criticising the company you're applying to work with.

10. Winking or making suggestive comments to the interviewer (H-e-l-l-o! This is a job interview not a bar!)

Reading this list, it's pretty obvious how not to behave in a job interview... and certainly how NOT to get a job.

But how obvious is it to GET a job?

Well, the most effective strategies and tactics are not all that obvious.

That's why I wrote an ebook on how to get a job - Insider Job Secrets Revealed - so I could unveil all the "secret" strategies that "Insiders" use to get the jobs they want.

If YOU'RE looking for a job, you need to know this information - it really will give you an edge over all the other job candidates.
