• Making derogatory remarks about your previous employer. (As a rule, stick to talking about the things you enjoy doing in your present or previous job. Show the interviewer your enthusiasm for the work you do. When asked why you are leaving your present employer, talk about the new challenges and opportunities you are seeking.
• Asking prematurely about salary. The interviewer should already have your salary information from the recruiting organization. If the interviewer brings it up, however, do not deviate far from what was represented, and do discuss your expectations.
• Not preparing a list of questions prior to the interview to ask during the interview (ie: scope of responsibility, project information, etc.)
• Appearing over-confident about your abilities, which can appear to be egotistical...(remember, everyone can learn something new in any situation).
