Here are some key don'ts to keep in mind for interviews:
- Don't be too brief in your responses. Elaborate and provide examples and details when answering questions.
- Don't wear strong perfumes, colognes or scented products. Some people may be sensitive to scents.
- Don't be late! Arrive at least 10-15 minutes early so you're not rushing in. Being on time shows respect for the interviewer's time.
- Don't chew gum or eat during the interview.
- Don't be negative. Don't complain or criticize past employers, colleagues or clients.
- Don't bring up personal issues like family problems or medical conditions
