There are so many articles and blogs about what to do to have a successful interview, but has anyone ever told you things to avoid while interviewing? This process can be stressful and downright scary. An interview is your first impression toward the employer and company. Doing your best is not only imperative to your success, but it will also be a better representation of you as an employee. The following are a few things to avoid while interviewing for that new opportunity from one of the top employment agencies in Reno.
Bringing a Drink with You
Stopping for coffee on your way to the interview may seem like a good idea at first, but what if you get lost? As this will be the first time you will be meeting a prospective employer, the first impression you will make is arriving at the interview early, on time, or late. Even worse, what if you are 10 minutes late to an interview with a coffee in your hand? That doesn’t send a good message explains the temp agency in Reno, NV. It says that time management isn’t one of your specialties and that your priorities lay outside of the organization. If you must get your caffeine fix, prepare it at home and bring it with you. This way you can get your coffee in on the way to the interview without sacrificing time or your sense of direction on the way there. Just be careful not to spill it on yourself!
Using your Phone
We are all attached to our phones almost 24/7, so this may seem like an impossibility. It's important to not be distracted by our phones. The reason why we are so accustomed to browsing social media on our phones at all hours of the day and night is that that’s what all our friends and family are doing too. When you are in an interview, make sure your phone is turned off or on silent; and you are not checking it during the interview. Because so many are attached to their devices, checking them has become a nervous habit. We all know how nerve-wracking interviewing can be. You need to leave your phone in a purse or bag, so you can fully focus on the person or people you are in the room with. Your messages and emails can wait but making a pristine first impression can’t.
Not Researching the Company Before Interviewing
There are plenty of horror stories of people going into interviews they were excited to get but not preparing ahead of time. Imagine you feel good about how the interview is going then you are asked the question “What do you know about us here?” and you have nothing to say? A quick review of the company’s website and social media profiles will help you answer this question and a few others that may pop up in the interview. The Reno employment center suggests checking reviews and ratings online to see if it is truly a company you can see yourself thriving in and helping reach their goals.
