SOME DON'TS (THINGS TO BE AVOIDED)

On the day of the interview

* Don't study late in the night before the interview. A full night's sleep is a must before the interview to remain fit and fresh during the course of the day.
* Don't eat an exceptionally heavy breakfast on the day of your interview as it might make you feel uncomfortable or heavy.

During the interview

* Don't forget to close the door after you have entered the interview hall.
* Don't forget to ask permission before coming in. Ask" May I come in, please"
* Don't forget timely salutation when you have reached near the table of the chairman. Greet them according to the time.
* Don't sit down on your own. Wait for the chairman's invitation to take a seat. But sit immediately.
* Don't start of on your own. Let the chairman initiate the proceeding.
* Don't speak too fast. Let every word you speak be clear and audible to all the members.
* Don't make artificial or excessive gesticulation. Try to be as normal as possible.
* Don't be emotional on any particular point just to win the favor of the interview board.
* Don't interrupt the others. Let the chairman or the member complete his question. Only after he has finished speaking, in case you have not followed, you may request him to repeat.
* Don't enter into any arguments with the chairman or any membe of the board.
* Don't try to avoid questions. If consecutively two or more members have put their questions, reply to each one in the same order.
* Don't give evasive or confusing answers.If you are not sure of something be frank and politely say" Sir I am not aware of such a thing" or "Sir I am sorry I do not know'
* Don't fiddle around with your buttons, your hair or anything else as it shows your nervousness.
* Don't change your stand. Be consistent in the line of argument you have chosen unless properly reasoned. Do not give self contradictory or conflicting answers.
* Don't readily agree with everything the interviewer says,if you have valid arguments to support your point of view. In case of disagreement be polite and say" I beg to differ, sir because..........." and try to convince him of your own point of view.
* Don't try to gain favor of the chairman or any of the members by giving a biased opinion, to please him. This will not show your maturity or integrity.
* Don't enter into any political controversy. Never try to gain the favor of the interviewers by speaking against or in favor of any particular community.
* Don't give up. While presenting a point, don't stop abruptly until the topic is changed by the interviewer.
* Don't miss the opportunity to compliment the interviewer e g " I hear this for the first time, sir"

After the Interview

* Don't extend your hand for a handshake with the chairman. Let him offer his hand first if he wants to.
* While leaving the room, don't turn back to look at the members. Don't forget, your manner of leaving the hall, is being observed by the interview board.
* Don't forget to close the door.
