Dos and don'ts
Admitting to having a weakness
Do. Acknowledging a minor weakness and showing improvement is professional and honest. If you don't have a credible answer to the question 'What are your weaknesses?' then you may give the impression of being inauthentic or lacking self-awareness.
Memorising your answers
Don't. It’s ok to prepare for questions to be asked, but it's also important to avoid your answers sounding rehearsed.
Not asking any questions
Don't. Thoughtful questions show genuine interest and curiosity about the role and company.
Emphasizing unique skills
Do. Focusing on unique, relevant skills shows why you’re the best candidate.
Asking about growth opportunities
Do. Asking about growth shows ambition and a commitment to the company’s future.
Exaggerating your experience
Don't. Be honest about your experience: authenticity builds trust with interviewers.
Focusing on the negatives of your last job
Don't. We do encourage you to share your experiences with us, but even if you had a negative experience, try to focus on what you learned from it.
