" No-Panties Peekaboo &amp;quot;The most awkward interview I ever had to conduct was with a woman who wore an ill-fitted skirt\u2014and no underwear. Maybe she was worried about panty lines, but when she sat down, I got to know her a little too well. I rushed through the interview because I was so disturbed by the crotch shot.&amp;quot; \u2014Sarah, television producer Mama Drama &amp;quot;I needed to hire an intern and had done a phone interview with a candidate I really liked. But then when she came in to meet with me in person, she brought her mom with her! I conducted the interview in a glassed-in conference room, and my entire office was laughing hard as they watched the three of us chat. The girl&amp;#039;s mom would chime in and ask things like, &amp;#039;Well, what will her responsibilities be? I want to make sure she&amp;#039;ll be busy all day.&amp;#039; I actually liked the girl, but I really didn&amp;#039;t want her annoying mom to come to work with her every day too.&amp;quot; \u2014Maria, fashion designer Scary-Confident Candidate &amp;quot;One recent grad I was interviewing tried to show me how dedicated she was by looking me dead in the eye and saying, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m so good, I guarantee I&amp;#039;ll have your job in a year.&amp;#039; Since I didn&amp;#039;t want to be on unemployment this time next year, I didn&amp;#039;t call her for a second interview.&amp;quot; \u2014Jessica, real estate agent Lunch Time! &amp;quot;I had set up an interview with a young guy, who arrived with a backpack in tow. As soon as he sat down and I began explaining the position, he pulled out a sandwich and started chowing down! He then opened a bottle of water and proceeded to drink and eat right there on the other side of my desk. When I asked him what he was doing, he replied, &amp;#039;I haven&amp;#039;t eaten yet. Go on, keep talking, I can eat and listen.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; \u2014Gail, human resources executive The Wrong Way to Network &amp;quot;As a hiring manager, I enjoy meeting candidates who are personable. But I once met a job-seeker who took our good rapport too seriously. She friended me on Facebook, sent me multiple thank you e-mails, and invited me to join her and her friends for a weekend party. It got to the point where I had to politely tell her that our conversation had been strictly professional, to which she responded arrogantly that I must not know the &amp;#039;rules of networking.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; \u2014Lauren, marketing director "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
