and the #1 way not to get the job.
Show up to the interview in a pair of these!!!Disclaimer: The above situations although altered somewhat are real situations and have occurred over the many years I have participated in interviewing potential employees.At no time EVER did any applicant really not get a position based on any of the above reasons. They didn't get the job for an entirely different set of reasons.
