TEN COMMON MISTAKES IN THE INTERVIEW ROOM.CLICK HERE TO LEARN

Mistake 1: Not being able to think of a response.

If you find yourself facing one of these “brain freezes,” all is not lost. Try this strategy to get your thoughts—and words—rolling again.
  • Ask the interviewer to clarify the question. This will give you some precious time to regroup.
  • Ask for time to think. There’s nothing wrong with requesting a few seconds to consider the question and formulate an answer. In fact, a good employer will respect that you’re taking the interview seriously and thinking before you speak.
  • Say something. Delivering a partial answer is better than nothing. And if you’re still drawing a blank, be honest and ask if you can come back to the question later.
Of course, a bit of extra preparation and practice will go a long way toward reducing your odds of going blank when it really counts.
Mistake 2: Not directly answering a question that was asked.
This is often a result of Mistake 1. When your mind goes blank, you might either evade a question completely or ramble on without providing a specific, relevant response.
If you realize the gaffe mid-interview, try to recover by steering the conversation back to the tricky question (see strategy for Mistake #1 above).
If you cringe at the memory after you’ve already left, you can send a follow-up email with a more thorough answer.

Mistake 3: Calling the interviewer or company by the wrong name.

If you’re interviewing with multiple firms and people from various departments, this is an understandable flub. While it may seem mortifying at first, all may not be lost. Recover quickly by apologizing for the error, chalking it up to nervousness and excitement about the opportunity, and then moving on.
