Three mistakes to avoid during an AI interview: Giving Generic Responses: Avoid vague or cookie-cutter answers. AI systems are trained to assess specifics, so provide detailed, relevant examples to showcase your skills. Ignoring Job-Specific Keywords: AI tools often screen for keywords. Skipping relevant terms like "project management" or "data analytics" can weaken your responses. Overloading with Buzzwords: Don’t stuff your answers with trendy jargon. Focus on clarity and alignment with the role’s requirements instead of sounding overly technical or robotic.
