Job interviews can be nerve-wracking, but many candidates lose opportunities by making avoidable mistakes. At Takluu, we guide you on what not to do so you can shine in front of recruiters.
1. Not Researching the Company
Walking into an interview without knowing about the company’s products, services, and values shows a lack of preparation. Spend at least 30 minutes learning about their latest news, culture, and competitors.
2. Overusing Buzzwords Without Examples
Saying “I’m a team player” without a real-life example sounds empty. Instead, share a specific situation where you worked with a team to achieve a goal.
3. Talking Too Much or Too Little
Balance your answers. Keep them detailed enough to showcase your skills but concise to maintain interest.
4. Poor Body Language
Slouching, avoiding eye contact, or crossing your arms can make you appear disinterested. Practice confident posture and hand gestures before your interview.
5. Forgetting to Ask Questions
When the interviewer says, “Do you have any questions?” — always have one ready. Ask about growth opportunities, team culture, or role expectations.
💡 Final Tip: Avoid these mistakes, prepare well, and you’ll be ready to just crack the interview and land your dream job.
