People frighten me.

kv0925Hey there job seekers!
After this afternoon, I feel qualified to give you all some pointers--from an employer's point-of-view--about what not to do at a job interview.
First of all, it's a good idea to wear presentable clothes. Ripped, frayed, faded camouflage pants are probably a bad idea. Likewise, as far as appearance goes, clean fingernails are a plus, particularly when applying/interviewing for a cusotomer service sort of job. Attention should also be paid to one's hair and it's relative degree of kemptness, as it were. Similarly, big hickeys on the side of your neck, while fun to receive, leave something to be desired.
During the interview, most employers do want to hear something a little more than things like "I just want a job!" or "I'll do *anything* as long as I get paid!"
Also, it might be best to refrain from mentioning that you're only good with people when you're in a good mood. Further, perhaps best left out that you're currently in a good mood mainly because you're on medication.
Sigh. Think I should hire her?
