Interview Mistakes That Can Cost You The Job,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
David Lewis, president of OperationsInc,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a human resources consulting firm, has seen his share of embarrassingly bad job candidates. He says one woman crossed her legs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looked at her feet and realized she had forgotten to change from sneakers to heels before the interview. She stopped him mid-sentence to change her shoes. Another brought her lunch to the midday interview and proceeded to eat it in front of him. When he asked what she was doing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she responded: "You know I am here on my lunch hour!"
Extreme,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yes, but these examples highlight the myriad gaffes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mixed signals and wrong impressions that could happen in your one shot at proving yourself. With unemployment rates hovering at 9.7% in January and 8.4 million jobs lost in the last two years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], job competition has skyrocketed. Fewer jobs and more applicants require job seekers to have packed r and impeccable interviewing skills.
reRedditPlus, "Whatever people say, gender issues can still be present in the interview process,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says president of executive search firm Alliance Consulting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Paul Sorbera. While men and women make many of the same mistakes--arriving late or unprepared, refusing to answer a question or lying about previous experience--women can make particular missteps that may cost them the job. From appearance faux pas and chattiness to not emphasizing their strengths and professional wins, the experts are clear about what you should not do the next time you're in an interview.
Some women, in an effort to avoid stereotypes that paint them as overly emotional or indecisive, overcompensate with chilly professionalism. If the woman appears too stiff or standoffish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the interviewer may have trouble relating to her. "Women are a little reticent to let energy and passion show," says Gail Blanke, CEO of Lifedesigns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an executive coaching firm. "This is the time. People are looking for that because things are so bleak."

Women can also fall into the trap of fumbling over family questions. C-level executive recruiter Patricia Lenkov says women have been taught that speaking about children and family make them appear less ambitious,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], causing many to glaze over questions about career gaps due to child-rearing. Instead, she suggests offering a well-cultivated answer about how you managed to stay plugged-in and productive over a gap. A good response might be, "While I was not employed during this time I did do a fair amount of volunteer work to keep myself active and mentally challenged. Now that my kids are older,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I am ready to get back to my career."
But the wrong kind of silence can also damage an interview. Many women are reluctant to tout their accomplishments, fearing they'll appear arrogant or overly ambitious. "Women have a tendency to wait to be discovered,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Lifedesigns' Blanke. She suggests that applicants boldly and clearly state their achievements and talents.
Career coach Hollander also notes that some women have a tendency to issue disclaimers in their interview responses. For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when asked a question about her management experience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an applicant prefaces her response by saying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "To be honest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I haven't actually been in charge of an entire division,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but." Hollander calls this "testifying against yourself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," and says that this stops people from hearing what may have been an acceptable answer and projects insecurity and self-doubt.
