Woo hoo! You’ve made it through the recruiter’s screening call and the interview has been scheduled. You obviously want to rock it, so you’re running through your checklist of the things you need to do to get ready. But sometimes it’s just as important to remember the things not to do. Even the brightest, most promising candidates occasionally flub this key part of the process on the big day.
Ahead, five mistakes you probably didn’t even realize you were making. Avoid these and you’re more likely to remain in the running.

1. You Don’t Know Why You’re There

When the search has been long, or when you’re dying for a change, it’s easy to forget the importance of a critical eye. Today’s methods of just clicking a button make it all too easy to apply on auto-pilot. Sure, that might get you the interview, but it won’t get you the job. Going to that meeting without a clear understanding of why you’re interested and why you’re the perfect person for the available role will not end well for you.
So, in addition to researching the company (which everyone knows is a must), also research yourself. How does this position fit into your larger goals? What skills will you be able to develop at this company, and why do they matter to you? How have your previous positions prepared you for this opportunity? How does this role align with what’s important to you? Knowing the answers to questions like these will clarify what you like about the job and what you want out of it. In short, it’ll be a reminder that you are a deciding party in this game, too.

2. You Forget to Bring Your Energy

Show up as well-rested as possible. Yes, adrenaline can run its course for a little while, keeping you focused and on your toes, but when it wears off, it could leave you wilting. Employers hire people who are self-motivated and focused: They want to know you’ll bring energy and drive with you to the team. In fact, lots of companies even want to know that you can work hard and play hard.
