Talking Paychecks Early
Avoid bringing up salary too early in the interview process. It can signal that you're primarily motivated by money, rather than the job itself. In India,
it's often seen as less professional. Focus on demonstrating your skills and suitability for the role before discussing compensation. Wait for them to initiate the conversation.
Negative Past Experiences
Refrain from speaking negatively about your previous employers or colleagues. This can create a perception that you are not a team player and may lead to uncomfortable questions about your attitude. In India, loyalty and respect are highly valued; so focus on positivity and what you can bring to the table.
Lack of Research Shown
Never appear unprepared. Demonstrating that you haven’t researched the company, its values, or the role shows a lack of initiative. In the Indian context, showing that you care and have spent time understanding the company can go a long way. Tailor your answers to fit their specific needs.
