[QUOTE="Yusra3, post: 331364, member: 31907"] Having an interview go poorly is disappointing but identifying signs it went awry can help you learn for next time. Look for these indicators: [B]1 - You couldn't answer key interview questions[/B] Fumbling questions about your experience or skills may sink your chances. Brush up ahead of time on likely questions around your abilities. [B]2 - The interviewer seemed disengaged[/B] Lack of eye contact, checking emails, giving short responses can signal disinterest or doubts on their end. This lackluster energy doesn't bode well. [B]3 - There was an awkward vibe[/B] Struggles to keep conversation flowing smoothly, inappropriate remarks, or you just didn't click can contribute to an uncomfortable interview that hurts your chances. [B]4 - It was much shorter than expected[/B] A very brief interview may mean the hiring manager already decided you weren't a fit and cut it short. Interviews less than 30 minutes long are often not a good sign. [B]5 - You arrived late[/B] Arriving late creates a terrible first impression that can be difficult to overcome. Always plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early. [B]6 - There were long pauses between your responses[/B] Frequent long pauses after being asked questions makes you appear unsure and can derail the conversation flow. Practice answering likely questions aloud to prevent this. [B]7 - You didn't prepare questions to ask them[/B] Not arriving with thoughtful questions prepared gives the impression you lack genuine interest. Come ready with smart inquiries. [B]8 - Your portfolio or resume had mistakes[/B] Typos, formatting issues or inaccurate information on any documents reflects poorly on your proficiency and attention to detail. Triple check. [B]9 - You dressed unprofessionally[/B] Appearing too casual, revealing, sloppy or unkempt can make the wrong first impression. Follow up interviews present a chance to fix this. [B]10 - You focused heavily on compensation[/B] Discussing salary and benefits prematurely or frequently steers the conversation away from your qualifications. Wait for them to bring it up. [B] 11 - The interviewer had serious doubts on your skills fitting the role[/B] This may come out directly during the interview. If substantial weaknesses were identified, your chances fade. [/QUOTE]
