On May 19th, I posted a simple question on LinkedIn, "What have job candidates done or said that blew their chances of getting hired?" and was amazed by the answers. I could not believe so many weird, inappropriate things had happened during job interviews. Clearly, this was something that the interviewers of candidates wanted to share. Also, it dawned on me that by providing a glimpse into how recruiters and executives make up their minds about candidates, we might actually help candidates do and say the right things that will lead to their getting hired.
