This Mistake Can Ruin Your IT Job Interviews

There are plenty of things you can do to prepare for interviews for IT jobs.  You can be ready to answer any questions that you or your IT recruiters and IT staffing firms can anticipate.  However, your IT staffing agencies and technical recruiters can’t help you fix basic behavioral issues for interviews.  Here’s one mistake you must make sure you’re not making: interrupting your interviewer.

Most IT recruiting companies and IT staffing companies would agree that it’s understandable if you mistakenly interrupted your interviewer once.  However, if you interrupt people a lot as a nervous habit, or just out of sheer impatience, this will make a very bad impression.  The best candidates, the kind that IT recruiting firms have no problem placing in jobs, are great listeners and communicators.  If you interrupt your interviewer, you’ll not only irritate them, but probably show that you aren’t likely able to communicate well with colleagues, managers, clients, etc.  Do yourself a favor and break this habit immediately—it probably has cost you IT jobs already!
