nullThe interview mistakes shared by our site visitors could make up more than one Top 10 Interview Mistakes list.  Some are embarrassing, some are funny, and others are things that could happen to anyone.

Some of the interview mistakes to avoid that ended up on the list include:

  • Asking for cab fare for the ride home
  • Wearing loads of perfume
  • Wearing a cocktail dress to an interview at a college
  • Trying to swallow gum and almost choking on it
  • Forgetting the name of the company
  • Wearing sunglasses and shorts to the interview
  • Sharing a story about getting in a fight with a co-worker in the parking lot

Here are more of the top interview mistakes including not having a clue about your prospective employer, dressing the wrong way, saying the wrong thing, talking too much - or not talking enough.

Have you seen or made an interview mistake? Add your top interview mistake to our list (and if you were the one who blew the interview, you don't have to admit to it being you!).
