Things You Should Not Do At An Interview - 05-02-2006, 02:06 AM

Update : Link's been updated. You can now access the article in the link below.

There is enough literature on what you should do at an interview. But here’s a list of things that you would definitely not want to do at an interview, unless you don’t want that job or that B-school admit that you have so wanted. Click here for Full article.



Liked this article? Hated it? Want to rip it apart? Want to brag about catching a typo we made? Although the last one is unlikely, feel free to tell us here.

An extremely well composed and well documented article though I wish certain well known facts such as the smoking part and cell phone part could have been avoided and psycology could have been included. Nice article and keep up the good work........

There is a line tht goes like
"Does you guy love the way you roll your ‘R’s?"

whereas it shud be does your guy love the way........

P.S. I did manage to do the very unlikely
Not bad for an expert pagal eh?

Cheers

hey man,
Nice article..but the things mentioned can be done only by whimsical or a idiosynchratic person....we guys are pretty serious abt our career..right...still a nice article...

PS: it will be really difficult to not ogle if a really hot nice lady is sitting in the panel...right guys...


Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

GIM Rocks !!

Well ppl have come up with gr8 suggestions.... (dunno from where!!)

Well firstly, ppl shud maintain their composure and not get too nervous..

u shud remember u are not in a party, so must dress in casual clothing for the occasion

Maintain steady composure, do not lean and keep ur hands on ur legs... do not cross them...

Maintain eye contact with all the judges while speaking and be VERY ATTENTIVE while listening

show decency and be very couteous

do not show callousness

Be truthful to what u speak.... Never Bluf!! The interviewers are much smarter than u think they are...

Last but not the least.... take it easy... If u put too much strain, u might not perform to ur calibre...
