Top Eight Mistakes while Conversation and Interview

1. Use language that is too informal It is important to remember that you are interviewing for a job, not trying to make a new best friend. Too much familiarity can hurt your chances by making you look unprofessional. 

2. The use of words that are vague Words such as "a lot," "various/multiple" and "great deal of" are vague and don't give the interviewer the needed information. 

3. Misuse of pronouns It can be very confusing and words can be misinterpreted when pronouns are misused. Be especially alert to this when you are using the pronouns "we," "I," and "you". 

4. Using company-specific words Each company has certain terms that are indigenous only to that company. Outsiders will not know what you are talking about if you use these terms. This is especially true if you have worked for a public organization or the military. You should use as many specific words as possible in your interview so that the hiring manager knows you are familiar with your industry.. 

5. Assuming everyone knows the acronym you are using Acronyms are used at every company -- shortcuts used internally to eliminate a lot of words. Avoid using these in a interview because the hiring manager may not be familiar with the acronyms used at your current company. 

6. Describing skills by using "weak" words Beware of small words that can sabotage your credibility -- words like "pretty," "most of the time," and "kind of,". 

7. Use of few words to answer the question One pet peeve many interviewers have is not getting enough information. When a candidate answers a question with one or two words, it's impossible to make a judgment as to whether this person is the right person for the job. 

8. Talking too much -- not getting to the point When you fail to prepare for the interview, you can easily ramble and go off the subject down some other road. A rule of thumb is, "Your answers should be no longer than two to three minutes long."
