I am on the interview panel for my job and I am shock at how bad some of those interviews went. Here are things not to do:
1. Please don't wear jeans to an interview, and at least put a little effort on your clothing.
2. If you are trying to hide something make sure your lies are consistence.
3. If you want to use someone as a reference make sure the company exist, and let the person know you are planning to use them as a reference.
4. When answering questions please give answers that are more than one sentence. "I worked at ____" is not a good enough answer.
5. Please don't take a full minute to think about every question before answering.
6. If you are sending in a resume by email, send it as an attachment otherwise it will be impossible to read.
7. Don't bother to apply if you don't fit the minimum requirement.
8. Please follow direction on the job description. If we ask you to email your resume, don't drop it off at the office.
9. If you are currently not working try to think of something to fill in the gap
10. Please read the job description before showing up for the interview!!! Look on the company website, or ask someone. Have at least an idea of what you are going to do.
11. If you are going to copy and paste a cover letter, make sure you got the company name and position right.
Those are all actual things I seen people do for the last month. Many of those people have college degree and/or years of experiences.
