@Jackie80: I definitely agree with all of your list, especially, not to speak negative about your last job. That's kind of like being on a date & listening to the guy bash his ex ..ugh.

@Jackie80: The interviewer may assusme the applicant has a bad work ethic.
And on a date, complaining about an ex, makes me want run, I think it is suspicious or he is an issue that he is still dealing with & not ready to move on.

Using your phone! Turn the damn thing off!

Wearing shades.

Mismatching clothes. Guilty here. I'm not good at matching colors. That's why I stick to solid base colors. Easier for me.

Never ever break wind even if its a silent one,they will know..lol.. Never say I'm so hung over, don't let your first question be, how many breaks do we get a day and how long or they, or is that your daughter in that picture, and is she single ? Don't fall asleep during the interview, don't give them the crazy eyes look..
