You said/did what during your interview!? Tell me it ain't so!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Despite my March 24th blog claiming my last ''real world'' interview, it unfortunately did not pan out that way. The job was 10x more demanding workload/hours wise as I had thought, so I turned it down. I want to concentrate on ''my'' projects, as business owners, they understood.

This decision leaves me jobless and in a daily pool of emails from job search websites such as Workopolis, Monster and the likes. I tell you, I couldn't care less about them, but until my business is up and running, so are the bills; I have to go through at least a few of these offers a day.

Although I show little to no interest, one email did catch my eye. I'm a sucker for an infographic and it had one about the do's and don'ts during an interview. See below:

I've taken the liberty of highlighting some curious ones...is it just me or most, if not all, of these are common sense? I would hope no one needs to be reminded not to chew gum or be late. Wait, that's nothing, the green little box below has even more fabulously ridiculous behaviors!

Bring your mom? your dog? drink and bring beer? If this is the way people are going about their interviews I need not to worry, I'll have the job for sure, lol. This does not make me look forward to having to interview future employees for my business though, yikes!

Have you been guilty of these or have been a witnessed ? If so, please share your experiences, it will spice up job searching for those of us who are in the process!
