Inappropriate personal information

Steer clear of sharing overly personal information such as family issues, health problems, or financial troubles. Stick to discussing your qualifications and the job at hand.

Arrogance or overconfidence

Confidence is great, but appearing arrogant or overly self-assured can be off-putting to interviewers. Focus on your skills and experiences without coming across as conceited.
