During a job interview, many individuals feel as though they are under tremendous pressure and, as a result, may slip up or say something they will come to regret. While it is not always easy to prevent the wrong words from coming out, knowing what not to say or do during a face-to-face meeting may help.

CBS MoneyWatch recently highlighted a few mistakes that can spoil any job interview. For instance, one thing candidates should never do is lie. Sometimes, people are not even aware that they are fibbing, but knowing it is wrong may help them catch themselves in the act and quickly change course.

Of course, the more job candidates talk, the more likely they are to say something they will regret. As a result, the news source suggested they listen carefully and ask questions when necessary. The key is to show interest in a position, rather than desperation for a job.

What jobseekers should do during an interview is show enthusiasm, make eye contact and avoid telling jokes that could backfire, according to Quintessential Careers.

Something people should always avoid is applying for jobs they are not suited for. Taking a career test may help them identify suitable opportunities.
