Wondering why you don't ever get the job? Gone on dozens of interviews with no call back? Here is a list of reasons why people fail the interview. If you know these 10 tips you will increase your chances of success.

1. WHY YOU
FAILED
INTERVIEWS
10 REASONS WHY PEOPLE FAIL INTERVIEWS

2. YOU SHOWED UP LATE
Being punctual is a soft skill that is extremely
important for all employers. If you showed up late
without calling ahead with an amazing excuse
you probably wont get the job

3. YOU TALKED NEGATIVELY
ABOUT A PREVIOUS
EMPLOYER
Never speak poorly about a previous employer.
This shows that you are someone who is difficult
to work with and someone who will gossip. You
will not get the job if you do this

4. YOU WERE UNDERDRESSED
Always dress one level above the position you are
applying for. The way you look says a lot about
what you are capable of doing, whether you like it
or not. This could be why you didn’t get the job

5. YOU HAD POOR HYGIENE
Brush your teeth, put on deodorant, don’t drink a
coffee and don’t smoke a cigarette. If you have
unusual smells coming from your body you will
not get the job.

6. YOU WERENT PROPERLY
GROOMED
You need to make sure your hair looks nice for an
interview. If you have facial hair, trim it. If you
wear make-up keep the colors neutral. Trim your
nose and ear hair as well. Someone who is not
properly groomed appears untrustworthy and
unorganized, you will not get the job

7. YOU LACK CONFIDENCE
Self confidence goes a long way, I like to say
confidence = competence. If you can demonstrate
a level of confidence in your abilities to do a job
you will get the job. If you are too timid or shy
you will not get the job

8. YOU CAN’T PROVIDE EXAMPLES
OF YOUR EXPERTISE
You cannot say you have management skills
without giving an example of how you have
demonstrated those skills. If you cannot backup
your areas of expertise with concrete examples
you will not get the job

9. YOU WERE UNPREPAIRED FOR
STANDARD QUESTIONS
You will get asked a series of standard interview
questions every time. If you are not prepared for
these basic (easy) questions you will not get the
job. Do some research and practice

10. YOUR CELL PHONE IS NOT
TURNED OFF
If you bring your cell phone to the interview it
must be turned off or silent. Do not have it on
vibrate. If your phone is ringing during an
interview you will not get the job.

11. YOU HAVE BAD BODY
LANGUAGE
You communicate more with your body language
than you do verbally. Bad eye contact, poor
posture and crossed arms are just some of the
ways you will not get the job.
