I am trying to prepare for interview exercises beyond the usual Q&A. I.e., things like case studies, group discussions, role play, or reasoning tests. I have not done many of these before.

Hiring managers, what mistakes do candidates often make?

Not coming to an interview prepared. I always recommend being ready and bringing a copy of your resume. Make sure you do your research on the company beforehand.

I’ve been interviewing and have been referred by colleagues and wondering why I’m not getting the jobs. It may sound so simple but apparently I didn’t get two different jobs because I looked down for alot of the interview. Didn’t even realize I was doing it, so simple answer. Eye contact .
