5. Don't call and back out of your interview 1hr before your scheduled time, and then anticipate an interview when you re-apply a year later.

6. Your potential employer doesn't have a bad girlfriend. You do. He doesn't care.
7. Don't answer a text while you are talking with a potential employer. Shut your phone off before entering. |

I deserve this job because I'm a person. Pay me. It doesn't matter what skills I have or how hard I work.
Also, raise my minimum wage to $20 an hour - because I deserve it.

Don't "no show" to an interview. If you aren't going to go....****ing call and cancel ahead of time. Nothing pisses me off more than having to sit on a panel and waste an hour of my time because you decided to not show up.

Don't swear in an interview. Had one guy drop F bombs the entire interview.

Don't write on your resume that you know Microsoft Office. That's like telling me that you know how to use a telephone.

Is it? There are plenty of people that are woefully underskilled in that software suite.

Don't put down was responsible for "X". What did you specifically accomplish and more importantly, how does that skill/experience translate to this job?

Heh, that goes both ways. I had to wait 25 minutes for the guys to show up who were going to interview me when the property I was working at last year was being sold. I took that as a bad sign and ended up finding another job.
