3. You should not ask About Salary, Benefits, and Perks: During the interview you should focus on what you can do for the company, instead of talking about what the company can do for you. Keep in mind that the initial interview with the company is not the time to talk about the severance package, vacation time or health plan. Rather it is the time to highlight all your exceptional skills which the company requires. Similarly, you should showcase your interest about the job and your responsibilities, which you will undertake after on boarding the organization, opines Terry Pile, Principal Consultant of Career Advisors.
