According to career expert Roy Cohen, there are at least ten ways you can blow a job interview. They include: you talk over the interviewer, you embellish the details, you arrive late, you shake hands like a dead fish, you are obsessed with the device of your choice, you don’t ask the right questions, you smell, you dress to thrill, you over-share, and you don’t anticipate the push-back. Cohen said in terms of push-back, if you’ve made a lot of job moves in the past couple of years, be prepared to answer questions about that. He pointed out that good interviewers will always ask tough questions. Plan on asking questions yourself. Cohen advises job seekers prepare questions in advance to show that you’ve done your homework. Show that not only do you have the necessary qualifications, but that you have the interest, motivation and passion too. Cohen also said there is no excuse for showing up late for an interview, and if you do, it conveys you don’t value your interviewer’s time.
