One of my biggest pet-peeves is wearing too much perfume or cologne to an interview. Usually I try to deal with it (without taking a deep breath!) but one time I walked into the interview room and was almost knocked over by the smell. I had a very hard time listening to the candidate as I was feeling nauseated by the sickenly sweet scent that was permeating the entire room. I honestly wasn't sure if she was a good candidate or not when I finally had to get out of the room. Each of the other interviewers was supposed to bring me their feedback. Every one of them said, "I had a hard time listening to her because I couldn't stand her perfume." TJNTIY.
