Do not use terms such as “I’m a problem solver “ and “I’m a team player” Saying this will never get you recognized because interviewers hear it all the time. Never say “I don’t have any weaknesses” Everyone has weaknesses. The point of the question is not about how weak you are; it is about your honesty and self-awareness. Do not give answers that are too short or too long The best answers are 1-2 minutes long. Do not ask “What’s in it for me” Asking questions like this is an instant turn-off. Do not look at your resume This is a sign of either being nervous, you are ready to get out of the interview, or you have fabricated something.
