Top ten things NOT to say in a job interview:

10.    Do not say, "I wouldn't have lost my last job if nobody had snitched on me."  -Jessica Suarez

9.     You should not tell them that you are planning on taking a day off at least once a week. -Kim and Sarah

8.    Do not ask, "What is it that you people do at this company?" -Jessica Suarez

7.    Do not mispronounce or forget your interviewer's name...it could lead to a very embarrassing and consequential moment! - Darcy Thomas

6.    Never tell a joke that may offend someone on the interview team.  For instance, a Mexican joke would not be a great icebreaker to someone who is Mexican! - Mark Wallace

5.    Don't criticize your former employer! - Eric Rolfson

4.    "I am fascinated by fire." -Jessica Suarez

3.    When a recent interviewee was asked what his first impressions of the company were, he said, "it doesn't scream I have arrived" meaning that he didn't think it was much of anything.  Don't insult the place that might potentially hire you. -Sean Cote

2.    Do NOT pass gas! - Tiffany Nason

And the #1 thing NOT to say in a job interview...    "No matter how obvious you may think it appears - Never, and I do mean NEVER, ask a woman when the baby is due!  She might not be pregnant...  it's a shoe better left uneaten!"  - Ron Dexter
