Some people speak too quickly or too much, others swallowed his tongue and does not peel a word. Some a bit too much perfume, makeup or provocative clothing. In general, there are countless ways to screw themselves for a job interview.

The first step is to write a good CV, trying to highlight their good sides, but stick to the facts as to exaggerate or lie on your CV-it can be a fatal error.

As for the actual job interview, note the 11 most common mistakes that people make when applying for work.

1. Too fast

Unless you are in a stalemate and do not need any work at any price, remember that you should select advertisements for vacant positions. Do not submit your CV to the first ad you see and explore the market. Also, be sure that your qualifications meet the requirements. If goals too high, the probability you reject is greater.

2. We do not know how to ask the interviewer

Do not pay too a familiar to the interviewer, even if he / she is younger than you or behaves very freely. Those who interview you can afford and more casual language, but you do not go by the official tone. Refer to "you" unless you explicitly give permission.

3. Exhibit personal life on display

Do not go too much into talk about his personal life. This is not a rule that applies only to the interview. If you are applying for a responsible position is a good idea to do not have crazy, drunken, or God forbid nude photos on dating sites or on MySpace and Facebook.

4. We know nothing, neither the company nor the position you are applying

Managers hate to interview people who openly admit they have no clue about the company, nor to the position you are applying. Nothing will happen to you if you browse the web a little and learn something about the company. Otherwise you lose all the time.

5. Unkempt appearance

There are two extremes. Some people go to interview bad looking and coarse clothes. Others overdo (with cosmetics, accessories, etc.) and look like going on a diplomatic reception. In both cases not leave a good impression.

6. Respond to questions with "Yes" and "No"

When you ask a question not only respond with "Yes" or "No". The man in front of you wants to learn more about you and will not like it if you need to "pulling your words with hanger. Be careful and do not go out the other extreme, as too much talking and the interviewer can not take a word from you.

7. Unprofessional terms

Here we have to give e-mail contact, such as likes2party..., pinklady @ ... and other of that sort.

8. Too long CV

Follow the European format, there are already dozens of internet sites that provide models and advice on writing a CV. Make your work look at it. Page and a half is sufficient.

9. Talking with hatred for former employers

No matter how bad they have been, will make an unpleasant impression if you speak with too much hatred for them or ridicule them. Stick to the facts without going into too much detail and emotion.

10. Do not ask any question

It is good to show that you are interested in working as a question on the position in the company workflow, etc.

11. Video summary

Abroad for some popular items is to send a video CV. If you decide to send this, make sure it is appropriate in this case, and that you know exactly how you should behave. If you do not require it, however, you should not risk.
