bad interview10.  Showing up late. This is worse than not showing up at all, which results in some free time.

9.   Not having any questions to ask of me, or asking superficial questions.

8.   Answering a cell phone.  This annoyance includes the cell phone ringing, or even vibrating.

7.   Knowing nothing about the company with which they are interviewing.

6.   Using foul language or telling inappropriate jokes.

5.   Dropping names, especially of people I don’t respect.

4.   Chewing gum or eating anything.

3.   Telling an obvious lie.

2.   Answering a question before I’ve finished asking the question.

1.   Taking over the interview or giving an answer so long that I forget what question I asked.
