Since no two interviews are alike, it is difficult to be prepared for what lies ahead, but you can focus on your presentation skills, which may be even more important than what you have to say. Three areas of performance, which should be considered dangerous and deadly, are worth spending some time thinking about before your next interview.
1.Poor non-verbal communication image
It’s about demonstrating confidence –
That first impression can be a great beginning, or a quick ending to your interview.
2. Poor verbal communication skills
Your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly.
3. Not asking questions
It is extremely important to ask questions.
The job market is very competitive and the competition is fierce. Give yourself every advantage by preparing and practicing before the interview. Be aware of your verbal and non-verbal performance and the messages you are sending. It could make the difference between a job offer.
