We've all been interviewed for jobs. And, we've all spent most of those interviews thinking about what not to do. Don't bite your nails. Don't fidget. Don't interrupt. Don't belch. If we did any of the don'ts, we knew we'd disqualify ourselves instantly.
But some job applicants go light years beyond this. In a survey, top personnel executives of 100 major American corporations and asked for stories of unusual behavior by job applicants. Here is a list of the lowlights of applicant behavior during job interviews. Some almost seem too bizarre to be true!!
