Top 10 Job Interview Disasters

• Not even most recently, you should always research and get to know the company and the job you interview for, and NOT fill the interview with questions about the company, job, money, but should be able to talk about the company and offer your knowledge and what you can offer them, not what they have to offer.
  
  This is no longer a train as you go economy, but one who is willing to offer what they know in a field has as much chance as one who has experience, as having too much experience suggests thoughts of income, a station in a position they may have already achieved and expect in a new hire, and perhaps perks, or an apathy about the job within a new company, while merely looking for a job.
  
  Knowing isn't always growing, and companies as much want eager as much as "yeah I know that."
  
  If you must speak about ME, without work experience, talk about new technologies, methods, cost effective notions in being a Graduate in the field in having the education that has given you new perspectives, rather than someone who may not be as fresh as you are. This might especially apply to those out of work looking to find a job in what they have known for a long time, with pre-set, fixed ideas.


• Because I've researched your company and I feel that I have a lot to offer. I feel that this is where I can grow and learn the most with what little experience I do have. If you give me this opportunity and I don't meet your expectations I will at least have learned from what I think is the best company in my field. Oh. And don't forget...At the end of the interview, when they ask if you have any questions for them. Simply say "When do I start"?


• Do not bore the interviewer with "I am punctual' ,'I work hard' they have heard that from each applicant. You will be lopped in with the rest when you want to really stand out.
  
  Try something like. I have fresh ideas and an open mind to new schools of thought that would be valuable to a growing company. The other applicants may have been doing it longer but if their same old way approach might just be why they are looking for a new job.
  
  That would take some confidence interviewers love and at same time could cast some doubts about other candidates. It will take some balls nut you will stand out


• wow, they usually always hire someone with experience over someone without, unless there is a basic training program then they might hire you. you just say you are eager to learn and there is no better place to start than here, go on about how you are ready and hard working, if the job needs good communication skills you talk about that too.


• Say that you are willing to learn and earn that experience because you have to start sometime tell them that in time you are going to be the best they ever had ;)


• The interviewer is comparing a rookie to an experienced employee. This makes the question a lot harder to answer.


• "I am dependable and responsible. I will always be to work on time..." etc etc. Just talk to them, tell them why they should hire you!


• You say.you are willing to work hard and learn,
