''一個避免面試失禮的秘訣:不要把你的風頭鸚鵡帶去一起面試。''

Fortune雜誌報導,人力資源公司OfficeTeam對米國1000家大公司與100家加拿大公司的人事主管進行訪問,問他們面試時遇過碰到最尷尬或奇怪的13種狀況 - 13 dumb job-interview moves。

1) "The person was dancing during the interview. He kept saying things like, 'I love life!' and 'Oh, yeah!'"

「面試時跳舞,邊跳邊說『我愛生活!』或『Oh, yeah!』等話。」

「把自己養的寵物風頭鸚鵡放在肩膀上進門面試。」

3) "The candidate sent his sister to interview in his place."

「面試時請妹妹代打。」

4) "The candidate stopped the interview to ask me if I had a cigarette."

「面試一半時,突然問面試官:『你有沒有香菸?』」

5) "We had one person who walked out of an interview straight into a glass door. The glass shattered."

「面談結束後走出去,竟一頭撞碎一道玻璃門。」

6) "The candidate got his companies confused and repeatedly mentioned the strengths of a competing firm, thinking that was who he was interviewing with."

「把公司搞混了,應徵者不斷提競爭對手實力有多強,搞不清楚他在接受面試的公司,正是他讚頌有加公司的競爭對手。」

9) "An interviewee took his bubble gum out of his mouth and held it in his hand. Then he forgot about it and shook hands with me."

「應徵者從嘴巴挖出嚼過的口香糖放在手裡,面談結束他忘了手中握著口香糖,竟與面試官握手。」

10) "A job seeker gestured with his hands so much that he then sat on them to stop it."

「面談時手勢動作大又誇張,後來發現苗頭不對,又把雙手壓在屁股下。」

11) "A candidate fell asleep during the interview."

「面試時睡著了。」

12) "An applicant was doing really well in the interview until we got to the question about why she had left her previous job. She told us everyone there was out to get her."

「應徵者面談時講得很好,最後我們問她為何離開前一個工作時,她說:『公司每個人都說要給我好看』。」

13) "A candidate insulted the interviewer's tie."

「對面試官的領帶有意見。」
