Bad Job Interviews

Look up statistics for how much of face to face communication takes place in words, and how much takes place in other cues, and you will find a variety of statistics. However, people do agree that communication is more than just words. So, here are a few examples of nonverbal signals that jobseekers gave that may have cost them their chance at a job offer:
- eating all the candy in the interviewer's candy dish
- tossing a beer can in the receptionist's trash receptacle on the way into the interview
- presenting a college diploma where the name had been changed with white-out
- bringing your parent to the interview
Read the article for more amazing examples.
