How to Screw Up an Interview Part 1

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been finding it harder to keep up with things now that I'm working 6 days a week. But here's some more funny stuff to keep you going while I'm trying to keep up with daily life. Here's Part of 1 of:

How to Screw Up an Interview (unknown source):

We've all been interview for jobs. And, we've all spent most of those interviews thinking about what not to do. Don't bite your nails. Don't fidget. Don't interrupt. Don't belch. If we did any of those don'ts, we knew we'd disqualify ourselves instantly. But some job applicants go light years beyond this. We surveyed top personnel executives of 100 major American corporations and asked for stories of unusual behavior by job applicants. The lowlights(1-5 of 18):

1. "...stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application."

2. "She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time."

3. "A balding cadidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to the office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece."

4. "...asked to see interviewer's resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate."

5. "...announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer's office, wiping the ketchup on her sleeve."

These only keep getting better. It's amazing what some people even think would be OK to do at an interview. Or maybe they're just not thinking at all.
