Job Interview Mistakes – Watch your language!

If you research “job interview mistakes” and all its variations and related ideas online, you find a lot of things:  the importance of your body language during job interviews; Make-or-Break Interview Mistakes that include not dressing appropriately, offering too much information, or being too friendly with the interviewer; and things like not asking meaningful questions because you didn’t research the company.  Know what you don’t find?  How not to say “crap” 3 times in the interview.  That will lose the job for you.  I know….it just happened to a candidate of mine.  (Inappropriate or unprofessional language is generally frowned upon when you interview for jobs in medical sales, pharmaceutical sales, biotech sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, molecular and cellular products sales, medical supplies sales, hospital equipment sales, or medical device sales.)

What about you all?  Have nerves ever gotten the better of you in a job interview?  What happened?  Hiring managers, have you ever conducted interviews where you couldn’t quite believe what came out of the candidate’s mouth?  I know you have.  Let’s hear it.
