You can never be too prepared for an interview. In fact, about one of every three hiring managers size you up as a candidate in the first 90 seconds! Fair? Not really, but that IS the reality.

There are many non-verbal cues that hiring managers consider mistakes. Among them are lack of eye contact, failing to smile, bad posture, and fidgeting. And, all other things being equal, your choice of clothes could be the deciding factor. Make sure you err on the side of conservative or traditional, as opposed to being TOO fashionable or trendy.

Having said all that...here are the 10 most common mistakes made at job interviews:

 

10. Over-explaining why you lost your last
      job

9. Conveying that you're not over having lost your last job

8. Lacking humor, warmth or personality

7. Not showing enthusiasm or interest in the job

6. Inadequate research about the position or company

5. Concentrating on what you want rather than what the company
    needs

4. Trying to be all things to everyone

3. Winging the interview

2. Failing to set yourself apart from other candidates

1. Not asking for the job
