What not to do for an Interview!

After 16 years and with the holidays upon us I thought I would share a gift of laughter while also help prepare you for 2016.  These are unfortunately actual stories..

10. Take off your jacket and not realize your tie is over your shoulder and you missed a button on your dress shirt.

9. Decided to bring in a notebook but never write anything in it.

8.  Sweat so bad that you make pits under your arms during the interview.

7. Tell the interviewer which table you want to sit at for a lunch interview.

6. Call the interviewer by the wrong name.

5. Ask to take a phone call.

4. Suggesting that you have heard bad things about the interviewers leadership and how you would fix them.

3. Wear your old companies shirt instead of the one that took your company over because you never wanted to adjust to the new culture or color and telling that to the interviewer.

2. Crying that you want the job so bad.

1. Forget to check your nose prior to the interview.

Good ones Allen!
