Bring other people to an interview

• Unfortantly people do this .. such as children, spouse or friend.
• If you get a ride their have them wait in the car.
• Leave the kids at home.

Look at your watch

• When someone is asking interview questions and you look at your watch this will make think that you are not interested in what they are saying or about the job.

Lie

• If an employer finds out that the information that you stated or supplied during your interview or on your application or resume was false this will be an immediate red flag.

Hold back

• This is a time to gloat. Show what you have done and have the skills and ability to do the job.
