🧠 Top 5 Mistakes Freshers Make in Interviews (And How to Avoid Them)
Landing your first interview is exciting—but blowing it because of common mistakes? Not so much. Here are five things freshers often get wrong—and how you can avoid them:
❌ 1. Talking Too Much or Too Little
Confidence doesn’t mean giving a 5-minute monologue. Keep your answers sharp, relevant, and to the point.
❌ 2. Not Researching the Company
Saying “I don’t know much about your company” is an instant red flag. Read up, check their website, and know what they do.
❌ 3. Giving Generic Answers
Every fresher says they're hardworking. Instead, share a small story that shows it. Be specific—it makes you memorable.
❌ 4. Bad Body Language
Slouching, avoiding eye contact, or fidgeting shows nervousness. Sit straight, smile, and maintain open posture.
❌ 5. Not Asking Questions
When they ask, “Do you have any questions for us?”—say yes. Ask about growth, training, or company culture. It shows interest.
