As far as all concern, searching for job can sometimes be dreadful and a bit demoralizing. EnigmaCG would like you to succeed because it would be good for you, the company that hire you and for the overall economy. In fact EnigmaCG would really like you to get the job which you can enjoy doing it, challenges you and make best use of your overall strength. In the service of that, there are some actions which we want you to steer away from during your job interview. These actions as accordance to our expert won’t give you the impression which you would like to make. While some of the interviewers might have a different perspective in which attitude they prefer while some of them are very particular when it comes to the candidates’ behavior that they are interviewing.
Unfortunately some of the interviewees get counseled to do some version of these things. Having experience in recruitment consultancies over the years and having spoken to many great hiring managers talking about what they like and what they don’t during the interview given us some ideas on what are the things that you should have avoided when attending an interview session. If you eagerly want the interview session to go well, follow these instruction – don’t:-

Freeze Up
No matter how impressive you are in talents or how excellent and appropriate your resume is written, it will be a big turn off if you act articulate and silent during the interviews. As daunting as it get, interview involved everything from your clear and confidence answer to your body language, all will be put into account before the further selection process continues. If you couldn't get through the whole interview without crumbling, people will unlikely to believe that you will be capable to withstand the stress of the real work. Most important thing to do beforehand is to practice self-talk as a practice before the actual interview.

Dominate
It’s good when you already done your homework about the company you are going for interview. It is also not a crime if you look like that you are well prepared for the job but it surely annoying if you swept over the room as if it was your friend dorm. This kind of attitude is exhaustive as it leave the interviewer with no space to interrupt and later will be something that they don’t want to experience every day. A good interview according to EnigmaCG should be a dialogue session between the hiring manager and the candidate and not a monologue that will eventually turn off the interviewer. If you tend to talk a lot you might take into consideration to coach yourself to be curious about the interviewer; what she or he might want to hear from you and what they don’t.

Be sloppy
Although some companies practice casual dress code, others might still sticking with the same official dress code as other major established companies do. Try to find out before the interview what the standard dress code at the particular company is. No matter how casual is the dress code, please don’t try to be sloppy. Having a good personal hygiene will give the company a first good impression on yourself during the interview. It is more important whether you are overdressed or underdressed. If you come for an interview looking like you just rolled out of your bed, it gives the indication that you have lack of respect for the interviewer, the job and the company you are going for interview with.

Self-aggrandize
Often people are advised to market themselves and show confidence during their interview, but it is easy to cross the thin line from confidence to cocky. Answering questions as of you having no sign of weaknesses other than your impatience for those who aren’t fabulous as you are might come across as offensive and furthermore annoying. Balancing your strength and weakness together and telling them how you manage to get them to complement each other to achieve your earlier goal is better and come across as far more mature through their eyes.

Throw anybody under any bus
Even if your previous company feels like Date’s Seven Circles of Hell, under any circumstance never try to share it with your interviewer. Sometimes, people say bad things about their previous job because they don’t know how it will be perceived as later by the interviewer. You might actually think like it was a compliment to your current company but the reality is far different. EnigmaCG believes that saying negative things about your previous work life might give others the impression that you are both a complainer and indiscreet, which two qualities that they don’t want their future employees to have because later you might have the tendency to say negative things about them too.

Focus more on perks than on the job
Although many jobseekers are advised to ask about the benefits they would get from the company they have interview with rather than blindly taking it up for nothing, timing is necessarily critical. It is truly annoying if you start discussing about them during your first interview and it will give you the impression that you are only after the benefits offered and not for the sake of the job itself. Although these are important things to know, these should be discussed during the end or second round of interview that will involve the human resource. This attitude will not inspire the company to hire you now or later.

Be opinion-free
It will be a struggling moment for a candidate to come across as flexible and accommodating and it seems as they agree with everything the interviewer says and suggests. While many companies are looking for candidates that aren’t combative and rigid, they also need employees who know what they are and understand what they are capable of and what is important for them. Be expressive and speak yourself out as it shows your true potential and whether you are the right candidate with an outstanding demeanor among others that have been interviewed so far.

Stretch the truth
As critical as it seems, in this era of massive information availability, whatever you say and write either your past work experience, performance or your education will most likely be checked beforehand by the interviewer. It is better to be frank and upfront with anything less than stellar by offering a simple explanation to avoid confusion and distrust at the end. Believe us as trustworthiness is a priority and a quite critical quality they would look for before hiring you for their company.

Be clueless about the hiring company
Under any circumstance, please do an extensive research on the company beforehand. In the age of digital and information gateway, information can be available at any time and it will be difficult to understand if you come for an interview without any knowledge on the company you are interviewing with. It shows just how you are unprepared for the interview and it will come across as insulting and incurious. If you don’t know anything much about the company it will be easy for the interviewer to assume you wouldn't be of much interest with knowing how to do the job well either.


If you do the opposite thing of what we discuss here, you will ace the interview and eventually get into the ‘hired list’ in just a matter of time.
