7 Ways to Screw Up a Job Interview

Avoid the Mistakes That Will Lose You the Job

Why is it bad?: Rushing ahead to promotions may make the interviewer question your judgment and understanding of appropriate business interactions. Advancement opportunities are great, but first you need to get the job.

What to do instead: You have to crawl before you can walk.
