Top 10 Job Interview Mistakes
(MoneyWatch)
For the last few weeks we've been tweeting daily at @InterviewGoofs about some of the most ridiculous things that have been said or done in actual job interviews — everything from making a pass at the interviewer to parking in the company president's space — as told to us by a recruiter and his staff who meet with dozens of job candidates a week. We've compiled a list of the 10 best (or worst, depending on your point of view) interview gaffes that have been on the feed so far.
To see them, click on the arrows in the gallery to the left. And please follow our Twitter feed to get more daily gems from John Q. Recruiter.
