Reprinting this from a Reader’s Digest:

These are things not to do when interviewing.  These were provided by hiring managers:

• Candidate specified that his availability was limited because Friday, Saturday and Sunday was “drinking time”.
• Candidate explained an arrest by stating, “We stole the pig, but it was a really small pig.”
• Advertising is a tough business.  Which may be why one prospective adman wrote a cover letter boasting, “I am getting to my goal, slowly but surly.”
