Here's what NOT to do at an interview!

Provide a detailed listing of how previous employer made them mad.

  • Hug the hiring manager at the end of the interview.
  • Eat all the candy from the candy bowl while trying to answer questions.
  • Bad-mouth spouse throughout the interview.
  • Blow her nose and line up used tissues on the table in front of her.
  • Bring a copy of a college diploma, with white out over the name and candidates name written on top.
  • Wear a hat that said "take this job and shove it."
  • Talk about how an affair cost him a previous job.
  • Throw his beer can in the outside trashcan before coming into the reception office.
  • Have a friend come in and ask "HOW MUCH LONGER?"

These are examples from some Hiring Managers...yes, these have actually happened in interviews!
