Dressing too provocatively.
Why: first impressions matter, and clothing viewed as provocative is most likely to be seen as unprofessional or inappropriate for the workplace and can immediately weaken a hiring manager’s confidence in your fit. The other items are less damaging in most situations: arriving a few minutes early is fine (only arriving very early or very late is bad), overdressing usually signals respect, and skipping a thank-you note may hurt slightly but rarely kills an otherwise strong candidacy.
Quick tips: aim for industry-appropriate, conservative-professional attire; arrive about 5–10 minutes early; and send a brief thank-you message within 24 hours.
