"Red flags" at a job interview

Yes, there are a few things that immediately come to mind as red flags for interviewers. I have observed all of the following at interviews and these points have come up in discussions with my fellow interviewers afterwards:

• Speaking negatively or in a disparaging way about a previous manager or employer
• Breaching the confidentiality of a previous employer
• Being disrespectful of other nationalities in your answers.​

Some other common "red flags" are:

• ​Rambling in all your answers
• Not answering the question asked (repeatedly)
• Taking an excessive amount of time to give the context to all the examples
• Contradicting yourself or what you wrote on your application
• Not seeming to know anything about the role and/or organisation
• Exaggerating your answers (and that being shown up through your answers to follow-on questions).
