Steer clear of these behaviors to help guarantee a successful and satisfying interview. Don’t:
1.Be arrogant
When you go in for the interview, be modest. Confidence may seem condescending to the people interviewing you. Speak to your skills and accomplishments as they relate to benefiting the business and speak with an honest, no-bragging approach to it.

2.Avoidance of eye contact
Do not look away or down from the interviewer. An interviewer can perceive this to denote a poor or untruthful emotion. Rather, while speaking, gaze into the eyes of your interviewer. Nervous? Think about the interviewer as you would any other and behave as if you are having an average conversation wit
3. Arrive late
Don’t be late for the interview. Being late gives the impression that you don’t value the job or the interviewer’s time. To introduce yourself to the personnel and give yourself some time to gather yourself before the interview, arrive
4. Show up too Early
Don’t be more than ten minutes early. Your interviewer might find it a hassle to have you come in too much earlier, hurrying from his previous commitment into your interview, grumpy. Or, if you arrive in excess of ten minutes prior to the interview, stay in your car or outside the building, reviewing your interview materials. Enter and introduce yourself at the reception desk at an appropriate time.
5. Lie
Don’t overstate your training experience or ability. One of the people who interview you might find out right away that you aren’t being truthful. Your manager can then stop the interview without asking you another question. If you get hired based on a lie, the employer might ask you to do work you wont be prepared for. In contrast, you could answer questions about your qualifications for the job honestly. You can express excitement about continuing to improve your performance on the job and about learning new things.
6.Fidget
Avoid playing with your hands, feet, or things on the desk. This can give the interviewer an impression of a symptom of boredom; perhaps even making them think you are not interested in talking. Instead, avoid touching objects on the desk or table unless necessary, and keep your hands
7. Display a lack of responsibility
Don’t blame others for your mistakes. You might get invited in the interview to relate a story of when you made a mistake at work. Never say that it was your colleagues who were involved and that you never did anything wrong. Instead, accept responsibility. Explain what you learned from the mistake and how you will act if the same situation
8. Verify the time
During your interview, keep your eyes off the clock and your watch. This behavior could be interpreted by the interviewer as an indication that you have more essential things to do. Pay attention to the interview instead. To avoid being late for any other commitments, make sure your schedule is clear for at least an hour after the interview begins.
9. Answering phone
It is better not to check or answer your phone during an interview. Divided attention between the interview and your phone demonstrates a lack of self-control. Turn your phone completely off and tuck it away so you are not even tempted for the length of the interview.
10. Hysterical
Never show or tell your desperation to get the job. Too much intensity of emotions completely eliminates you from shortlisting. Instead, keep emotions in check and appropriately communicate your interest in the job.
11. Act outraged
Don’t sigh, frown, or make any other facial expressions that can denote negative emotion. The interviewer may get the idea from those that you are a grouchy individual. Instead, be jovial and use a light, bubbly tone of voice.
12. Arrive uninformed.
It would be very bad to attend the interview with empty hands since this will make the interviewer feel that you are not well prepared and lack interest in the working field. You should instead carry the copies of your references and resume along with you. Also, carry a paper and pen so that you can note down the important points during the time of your interview.
13. Be rude
Not being standoffish or unpleasant to corporate staff; the interviewer might well ask for your impressions from the staff you came into contact with when working for the organization. Be gracious and smile as you greet all the people you meet in the course of the interview.
14. Eat
Unless it is around lunch or dinner specifically, do not eat during the interview. It’s rude and it will take your attention. Instead, if you feel that you may get hungry, have a snack before. Check yourself out in the mirror before going to the interview.
15. Act bored
Do not yawn or show that you are bored during the interview. This might offend the interviewer. Nod your head in response, jot down notes, and answer any questions to indicate to the interviewer that you listen to him or her.
