Jennifer Tortorella at The Headhuntress Blog points out some of the stranger interview behaviour that was uncovered during Careerbuilder's annual Interview Mistakes survey. Somehow, flushing the toilet during a telephone interview didn't go over so well...
Anyway, from the hiring managers themselves, here are the biggest mistakes you can make during an interview:
51% said dressing inappropriately was the most detrimental mistake
49% disliked candidates talking negatively about a former employer
48% disliked candidates who acted uninterested in the interview
44% disliked candidates who appeared arrogant
30%: not answering questions well
29%: not asking good questions
Good interviewing is all about engaging the interviewer. Anything that distracts or takes away from that engagement can hurt you badly in an interview
