3 Ways to Screw up an Interview

1. Dress in cutoff shorts and a tube top

While dress code has been relaxed at many companies, it’s to your benefit to come dressed for the job you want. CEOs hardly ever where jeans because they’re representing the company at customer deals.

2. Hand in a trashed resume

Your resume is your brand on paper. Spend the money and get a nice leather binder that holds a notepad, pen, resume, and business cards. Definitely get a business card from your interviewer.

3. Liar, Liar

Lying to your interviewer isn’t a good idea. Remember they have HR dedicated to performing background checks. Companies hire based on past experience but they emphasize future capabilities of a new employee.
