What To Avoid In A Job Interview

February 6th, 20080 comments

I thought this article was almost as funny as it is useful. It basically goes through and lists a bunch of things you shouldn’t do in a job interview.

Most of them are obvious and I really can’t believe that anyone would do half these things, but some of the points were just freakin’ hilarous:

24. Bring your cute little dog on the interview: Pets don’t belong at interviews. They’re distracting and present the potential for disaster.

Do people seriously do that. I mean, if someone came to me for a job interview and brought their dog, I’d try to hold back the laughter, but as soon as they left the building, I’d be ROTFL.

27. Hit on the receptionist or pass your phone number to a cute guy: If you give the impression you’re more interested in dating than working you won’t get the gig.

I guess this holds true unless you go to job interviews with the express interest of hooking up with the secretary;-)

And then there was one that I sort of disagreed with:

6. Tell jokes: A job interview isn’t the time or place to be a comedian. You need to show you’re serious about the job.
