A recruiter with more than a decade of experience has shared the biggest 'red flags' that will instantly turn off employers during a job interview. 

Emily Levine - executive vice president at Career Group Companies, from Los Angeles, California, who has worked in recruiting since 2010 - recently told Business Insider about the worst things that people can do while meeting with prospective new employers.

She explained that the way you handle yourself and the information you divulge during a job interview is vital.

And according to Emily, there are a few simple mistakes that people make that often cost them the position. 

First, she warned against sharing too much about what you expect from the position at first.

She also said seeming 'overeager to get promoted instead of focusing on the job they applied for' could be a major red flag to employers.

'[Already thinking about your next steps] sounds the alarm in the interviewer's mind,' she dished. 

In addition, Emily recommended that people do as much research about the company they re applying to before going in for an interview.

She said interviewers can always tell when someone is 'winging it,' and can be turned off by that. 

'Even if they're provided with the link of who they're meeting with, [some people] show up completely blind, and they have no idea of anything about the company or the person that they're interviewing with,' she explained. 'Which is just so insulting.'

If you're scheduled to have a virtual interview rather than one in person, Emily added that where you decide to do it matters more than you might think.

She said that employers may be unhappy if you do the interview while you're in the midst of doing something else or if you seem 'too comfortable' during the chat.
