Interview is like a minefield
You make one wrong mistake and they put you in the “NO” pile.
Don’t reveal personal info
Do not overshare you personal info. Just keep it related to the job.
EX: If you share you have a certain hobby but the interviewer doesn’t appreciate it, you might lose your spot.
Don’t reveal the REAL reason you’re looking for a new job
Example: You might say dumb stuff like “My boss was terrible and I needed to get out”
-> They will think this is a RED FLAG.
Unaligned career plans
What is your career plan? What do you see yourself in 5 years, bla bla bla…
-> Don’t make employers think you’re going to switch career eventually. Keep your goals consistent.
-> You want to look like you’re passionate about the job.
Don’t show people that you’re desparate
If people feel like you will take any jobs, it might be a red flag.
Age discrimination and retire plans
Age discrimination in job interviews is illegal in many countries but still exist.
Talking about when you plan to retire in a job interview is not recommended. It can lead to age discrimination, make employers question your commitment, and put you at a competitive disadvantage. Employers are more interested in your immediate contributions and skills. Keep the focus on what you bring to the job rather than personal details like retirement plans.
Medical issues or disability
Do not bring this up. EVER. This will create a massive bias against you.
Don’t reveal your politics
Be very careful about this. The spectrum is very wide.
Salary expectation
Do not reveal your previous salary
