Interview Mistakes That Get GenZs Rejected

Avoid these common Gen Z interview mistakes—small errors that cost big opportunities. Master them, and ace your next job interview! 

Saying "bruh" or "no cap" might be cool with friends, but in interviews, it sounds immature and unprofessional. 

Overusing Slang and Casual Language 

Asking about vacation days and free snacks before job responsibilities makes you seem uninterested in actual work. Balance is key! 

Prioritizing Perks Over the Job Role 

Walking into an interview without knowing the company’s mission? Huge mistake! Always research—it shows interest and initiative. 

Not Researching the Company 

A ChatGPT-written resume might get you noticed, but if you can't explain your skills, you’re out. Customize it! 

Relying Too Much on AI-Generated Resumes 

Oversharing about hobbies instead of highlighting achievements? Keep it professional—your skills and experience should be the focus. 

Talking More About Personal Life Than Skills 

Pajamas and messy hair in a Zoom interview? No way! Dress professionally—it sets the right impression. 

Dressing Too Casually for Virtual Interviews 

"Yes." "No." "Maybe."—Super unhelpful! Give detailed, thoughtful responses that highlight your skills and problem-solving ability.
