DALLAS, Texas - Oct. 7 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- SAS International Dallas, a leading executive career management and marketing firm, states that inadequate preparation is the main way jobseekers ruin their chances at interviews. Too many jobseekers write wonderful resumes and then blow it during the interview.

According to SAS International Dallas, common ways that jobseekers sabotage their chances of obtaining the offer include:

* Complaining about a previous employer. Criticizing a former employer during a job interview indicates a serious attitude problem.
* Talking too much and not listening carefully to questions. Avoid long rambling responses during an interview.
* Not understanding the job or company. Always research the company and the interviewer well in advance of the meeting.
* Trying to bluff their way into a new position. Many people mistakenly think they can charm their way into a new position. Instead, plan to discuss specific workplace situations and quantify your results.
* Detailing past employment problems in a negative manner. Rather, demonstrate how you turned the problem into an opportunity and don't dwell on what happened.
* Asking about compensation. This question sends a message that you are focused on what the company can do for you. During the interview, communicate how you can contribute to the success of the company.
