1) Do not wear teeth jewelry during an interview. I am all about self expression, but maybe not best for a professional interview?? (Has anyone seen this before? It is a rhinestone piece of jewelry that was inserted between this girl’s two front teeth. Bleck.)2) Do not put your manager’s name on your resume and then proceed to slander said name….revealing all their personal drama. Do you think we are going to want that done to our name if things don’t go as you please?
3) Do not pass gas in the interview room after I say, “Be right back.” I really will be right back and I will not be able to listen to what you are saying if I am trying to concentrate on holding my breath.
4) Do not put ‘legal experience’ on your resume if that means you studied legal matters while in prison. And please don’t be offended when I lock the door behind you.
5) Do not sit back in your chair and read a brochure while I am interviewing you. If you do decide to act this way….don’t answer the salary question with, “I have to have $16/hr. and my own office.” Come on…..really??
6) Do not show up for your interview in house slippers.
7) Do not curse during your interview.
8) Do not interview me. A couple personal questions toward me are acceptable but do not creep me out by asking a million. It starts to feel like Single White Female.9) Do not wear a track suit and then ask me if it is appropriate attire for an interview. I don’t like confrontation so it is hard for me to answer this question. But I will and it will end up being embarrassing for both of us.
10) Do not complain about all the pre-screening activities including paperwork, testing and phone interview. Do you want a job or not?

What about the don't chew gum or answer your cell phone during an interview. Or were those self expanatory?! I agree with your top ten though. It's crazy what people will do/say in an interview!
