After years involving in recruitment industry, I would like to share with you about most common interview mistakes done by jobseekers in Malaysia. I hope you can avoid making these mistakes because they can really ruin your chances of getting a job.
Arriving late.
Never arrive late for your interview. If you are not familiar with the interview location, get a map from your interviewer or call him to get direction. If you know you are not going to make it on time, call the interviewer to arrange rescheduling. Do not think that late for 5 minutes is OK because to your interviewer, he might think you have a bad time management skills or even worst, he might think that you do not respect him, the job and the company. Remember, you don't have the right to waste others' time just because you don't mind.
Appearance
I have touched this topic on my other entry with some copy righted photos attached. Remember, formal attire is a must.
No smoking.
Do not smoke 45 minutes before the interview start because majority of employers are more likely to hire non-smokers.
Smiling face.
Make sure when talk to interviewer, sit up properly and make eye contact. Make sure you show your friendly face with lot's of lovely smile.
Be prepared.
Make sure you have research about the company. Learn about company background and their products are crucial.
Talk too much.
Reply interview questions with short and precise answer. Do not ever interrupt interviewer when he/she is talking to you. This will show you're disrespectful towards others.
Bad-mouth.
Do not bad-mouth others including your former colleagues, managers, vendors or customers. Employers don't hire complainer into their organization.
