Interview faux pas: The most common mistake candidates make on a job interview is wearing the wrong thing, according to a national survey. Fifty-seven percent of the more than 2,700 hiring managers who participated in the CareerBuilder survey say the most common gaffe is inappropriate dress, while 55% say the most common mistake job candidates are guilty of is appearing uninterested. Other mistakes cited by more than half of the businesses polled include talking negatively about a current or past employer and giving the impression of arrogance. CareerBuilder also asked participants to cite some of the strangest job interview blunders they’ve seen. Curious responses include the candidate who wore a business suit with flip-flops, the accounting job applicant who said he was bad at managing money, and the would-be hire who recited poetry during the interview.
