Interview tips for not getting hired

Would you hire someone who told you during an interview that he was fired for beating up his boss? Probably not, and the human resorces professionals agree.

CareerBuilders.com also presented these true stories that are surefire ways not to get hired:
. Take a call on your cell phone and then ask the interviewer to leave her own office because it's a private conversation.
.Tell the interviewer you won't be able to stay with the job long because you might get an inheritance if your uncle dies, and he's "not looking good".
. Turn down an offer of food because you state that you don't want to line your stomach with grease before going out drinking.
. Flush the toilet during a telephone interview.

I am sure you have more stories that you can share. Send them along.
