Not Researching the Company
Online resources available for company resources are endless these days. However, there are still those who don’t put them to use when preparing for an interview. Employers want to know that when are face-to-face with a potential employee, that they are sitting in front of someone who genuinely wants to work with them.
We suggest looking at the company website and review sites like Glassdoor.com and the BBB to get an idea of the company’s background and culture before your interview.
Lack of Preparation
One of the most critical components of being considered for a job is an understanding of the job description. You will likely, at some point, be asked about your understanding of the job role for which you are interviewing. The best way to avoid getting stuck on this question is to have a thorough knowledge of the job description.
As an extra bonus, be prepared with a list of question about the job description to demonstrate that you are committed to optimum performance if you are hired.
Complaining About Your Current or Past Employers

Yes, it is common to be asked how you deal with conflict in the workplace. Be prepared with a few constructive examples to avoid long-winded answers to this question.
Lack of Confidence
Your potential employer has a wide selection of candidates waiting to fill the role for which you are interviewing. They are looking for the best-suited person for the job and the best way to prove that you have what it takes is to demonstrate confidence in your skills and aptitude.
Talking too Fast
Articulation is one of the most important keys to a successful interview. At Perth Resume Writers, we know that your resume and social profiles can be written to reflect your skill set. In an interview, however, your speech delivery should reflect the same professional tone.
Talking too fast in an interview may give the impression that you are nervous. Or worse, may give the impression that you don’t think before you speak. As long as you keep the interview at a conversational pace and your chances of moving on to the next phase will increase.
