Job Interviewing Mishaps
Things candidates say that are thumbs down:
1) When asked whether or not they read the job description, they give a long answer about being referred to the position by someone so they just sent their resume in but never answer the question.
2) When asked about their motivation and interests, they pause and think seriously and think and think and think...
3) When asked about favorite professional achievements, they talk about being in awe of the intracicies of some particular system they learned in a course sponsored by their previous company.
4) When asked a basic question about a particular skill they list as number one, they unfortunately don't know the answer. :(
5) When given a problem to solve, they answer with buzz words and justify that the problem is solved.
