Don't be overbearing, overaggressive or conceited. Don't show a lack of interest or enthusiasm. Don't emphasize money as your main interest in the job. Don't expect too much too soon - be open to the idea of starting at the bottom and working your way up. Don't make excuses for unfavorable factors on your record. Don't condemn past employers or institutions of education; keep comments positive. Don't display a marked dislike for schoolwork. Don't be indecisive. Don't display intolerance or prejudice. Don't interview unless you are interested in the job...don't just "shop around." Don't be late to the interview. Don't state specific geographic restrictions. Don't contradict yourself in responses. Don't take notes during the interview - jot down your notes immediately after the interview. Don't forget: YOU control the content of the interview. Don't glorify your past experiences - getting into a job for which you are under qualified is not recommended. Don't assume that all employers will be delighted to hear of your plans for graduate school. Don't smoke, chew gum, etc. even if offered or if the interviewer does so.

Tell me about your redundancy (if appropriate) or why do you want to leave your present employer? Tell me about yourself (i.e. ask about their profile/skills/achievements - avoiding a life history). Tell me about your strengths? What did you like doing best in your last job? Where do you see yourself in 3-5 years time? What salary or package are you looking for? What are your views on relocation? What did you think of your last company?
