Top 20 Things You Should Not Do In an Interview - Top Interview Tips
Poor personal appearance: always wear a nice suit (and tie for men) even if everyone at the office is wearing jeans and flip-flops. It goes a long way.
Forget to close: you are interviewing for a sales job. You have to ask for next steps at the end of the interview.
Show up unprepared: review How to prepare for your interview. Make sure you 5-10 strong questions to ask.
Too much "I": talk in terms of ‘we’; it shows you are a team player.

Ask no questions: if you don’t ask questions at the end of the interview it will appear that you are disinterested.
Show up late: the hiring manager will think “if
he/she shows up late to the interview will they show up late to a
customer meeting as well?” Arrive 10 minutes early.
Chew Gum: don’t do it.
Speak poorly of past employers: even if you had a bad boss or work experience, don’t speak of it. Keep the energy positive.
