Vague answering of the Questions asked. When employers or panelists ask you a question they expect you to give a direct answer for example if someone asks ‘tell me about your self?” he expects you to tell him your education back ground and work experience do not give answers that your employer will not understand because this can cost you a job.
Some Job Applicants do not follow Interview etiquette;
Interview etiquettes are very crucial for job applicants for example coming late on the day of the interview, wrong sitting posture that prompts an employer to think that you are actually bad mannered, taking a seat before they tell you to, chewing while talking and not using courtesy titles. All these mistakes make you look irresponsible so please follow the right order.
Wrong filling of the Application;

You may give wrong information especially the job title, wrong spellings, wrong order of the application letter. All this shows that you are not eligible for the job because of carelessness
Applicants Not Knowing Information about the company that they have applied for.
