Not Knowing What They Want Out of Life

Please share your TJNTIY (they're just not that into you) anecdote about what a job candidate said or did that ruined his or her chances of being hired. If you're not logged in as a registered user, the post will be anonymous, if that is what you prefer. Postings from hiring managers, recruiters, and from the candidates themselves are welcome. Please devote each posting to a single anecdote (if you've got more than one to share, post more than once.) To keep format consistent, anecdotes should be a single paragraph and they should all end with "TJNTIY". Feel free to express yourself. Please check you post for spelling mistakes before submitting it. And thank you for sharing your story!
