Think about the following points. Do any of them apply to you?

Oversell

Trying too hard to impress; bragging; acting aggressively.

Undersell

Failing to emphasize the fact that you have related skills; discussing
experience using negative qualifiers (i.e. "I have a little
experience.. .").

Body Language

It is easy to create a negative impression without even realizing that
you are doing it. Are you staring at your feet, or talking to the
interviewer' s shoulder? Be aware of what your actions say about you.

Lack of Honesty

The slightest stretching of the truth may result in you being screened
out.

Negative Attitude

The interview is not an opportunity for you to complain about your
current supervisor or co-workers (or even about 'little' things, such as
the weather).

Lack of Preparation

You have to know about the organization and the occupation. If you
don't, it will appear as though you are not interested in the position.

Lack of Enthusiasm

If you are not excited about the work at the interview, the employer
will not assume that your attitude will improve when hired.
