A CareerBuilder blogger, in a post called Interview mistakes you wish you could take back, asked job seekers to share their most embarrassing interviewing moments. Trust me, after reading these, you should feel a bit better about your own interviewing faux-pas or gaffes.
According to the post, job seekers admitted to various sins of interviewing, including:
- Wearing flip flops to an interview.
- Inviting the interviewer out for a drink after the interview.
- Admitting in the interview that they are bad at the very thing they are applying to do.
- Reciting poetry.
- Using their participation in the game Dungeons and Dragons as evidence of their ability to work well in a team.
- Filing their fingernails during the duration of the interview.
While it is important to make an impression at your interview, deeply consider the impression you are making when interviewing both through what you say and how you dress. Thus, it might be best to leave the twelve-sided die or flip flops at home.
