Can you stay from cribbing and complaining?
Most candidates complain about past employers or bring up personal information. Perhaps it was not your intention to complain or reveal information, but you honestly answered the beguiling 'entrapment' question of "Tell me a little bit about yourself."
Caution! Stay focused on the job interview with answers about your experience, education, skills, and success. Be positive and, remember, never say anything bad about a former employer or give unnecessary details about how your last job ended.
Any employer would love to hear about how you took responsibility for your actions and learnt from your mistakes.
If you left your last job under less-than-ideal circumstances, don't lie about it. A background check would reveal the truth anyway. Make sure the interviewer understands what happened to cause you to leave your last job was the exception, not the rule.
An honest introspection is critical to your success in an interview. So, put on your thinking cap and impress yourself before you impress a potential employer.
