10 Things Not To Do In An Interview

The nation's largest corporations were surveyed and asked for their most unusual experiences while interviewing a prospective employee. 
  • A job applicant who challenged the interviewer to arm wrestle.
  • A job candidate who said he had never finished high school because he was kidnapped and kept in a closet in Mexico.
  • A balding candidate who excused himself and then returned wearing a full hairpiece.
  • A candidate who wore headphones to the interview and, when asked to remove them, explained that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
  • A candidate who said she didn't have time for lunch and then started to eat a hamburger and fries in the interviewer's office.
  • A clumsy candidate who fell and broke an arm during the interview.
  • A candidate who interrupted the questioning to phone her therapist for advice.
  • A candidate who dozed off during the interview. 
  • A candidate who refused to sit down and insisted on being interviewed standing up.
  • A candidate who muttered, "Would it be a problem if I'm angry most of the time?"
