Unfortunately, many job seekers are not only ignoring these tips, they're making mistakes that leave unforgettable impressions for all the wrong reasons. Here are 10 real-life examples from this year's survey:

不幸地是，許多求職者不但對順利面試應該遵循的法則不予理會，還以大錯特錯的“理由”給招聘者留下“難以磨滅”的印象。以下就是這次調查中的10個真實故事。

? Candidate answered cell phone and asked the interviewer to leave her own office because it was a "private" conversation.

應聘者接到一個電話后要求面試官離開自己的辦公室，因為那是一次“私人”談話。

? Applicant told the interviewer he wouldn't be able to stay with the job long because he thought he might get an inheritance if his uncle died - and his uncle wasn't "looking too good."

應聘者告訴面試官這份工作自己做不長，因為他認為在叔叔去世后也許能繼承一筆遺產——他的叔叔“看上去不算太好”。

? The job seeker asked the interviewer for a ride home after the interview.

應聘者問面試官能不能稍后送他/她回家。

? The applicant smelled his armpits on the way to the interview room.

應聘者聞著腋窩走進面試房間。

? Candidate said she could not provide a writing sample because all of her writing had been for the CIA and it was "classified."

? When the applicant was offered food before the interview, he declined saying he didn't want to line his stomach with grease before going out drinking.

應聘者拒絕了面試前提供的食物——稱自己不想在出去喝酒前用油脂墊肚子。

? An applicant said she was a "people person" not a "numbers person" -- in her interview for an accounting position.

應聘者說她是“和人打交道”而不是“和數字打交道”的人——可她面試的職位是會計。

? During a phone interview the candidate flushed the toilet while talking to hiring manager.

應聘者在一次電話面試中邊和招聘經理談話邊沖馬桶。

? The applicant took out a hair brush and brushed her hair.

應聘者拿出一把梳子開始梳頭。
