Top ten Career Fair mistakes

You started an interview with “Hi! I’ll take your job!”

You wore Hertz’s pink pinstripe suit, hat, cane, and matching Avanti tie.

“Microsoft? I hack your stuff all the time!”

You don’t work on St. Patrick’s Day, right?

Resumé? I don’t need no stinkin resumé!

You signed your resumé “Master Darius, 77th Level Wizard”

You got a job working for New Enron

“T.O. just got a $5 million dollar signing bonus, and I expect nothing less.”

You told the rep, “I know the pens are free, but are you?”

“$34,000? That’s a great starting salary! Where do I sign?”
