Two things:
1) Dishonesty... particularly when someone is stretching the truth to get a job.
2) I also dislike it when a candidate does not answer the question I ask, and instead answers something they either THINK I asked or HOPED that I asked.

Pay attention to the question and give a straight answer. You'll stand a better chance of finding a good fit.

Weird people, sloppy looking people, answers to their questions usually give that away in the first 5 minutes. No rambling. Answer the question. rephase the question and then give your answer. Maybe add a personal example dealing with your job history that may stick out to the interviewer. A what can you do for me type of attitude instead of this is what I can do for your company. to name just a few. Look up behavioral interviewing. Good luck

What I spent $3000 dollars on, I will tell you for free - In all interviews - answer every question with a positive answer. Stay away from negative answers.

Question: What makes you angry?
Answer: When people cut me off in traffic!

You see they did not ask - What makes you angry at work?
Do not say anything negative about old bosses - say something like:

"Well - the people I've worked with and reported to have made me the best (your occupation here) I can be.

Hope this helps!

**Hey you got some real good answers!!

Don't squirm or act like you're nervous even if you are. Make eye contact when you speak and don't mumble and if you have to hesitate don't say umm or errr, just pause. Walk through the door with a big confident smile on your face like you've already got the job. Good luck.

I hated it when someone came in dressed properly. I also hated it if it seemed like they had no confidence in thereself. If i asked a question I wanted it answered quickly not have to keep comeing back to the question over and over. I also hated being lied to because if they will lie to you in the interview room no telling what else they would lie to you about.

When they ask "Do you have any questions" and you just nod your head and say "No". This is when you should pull out your list of notes and ask a few things to show you have some interest in the company and the position.

If you mean job interviewers:

People who are late
People who are untidy or dirty
People who aren't making an effort
People who haven't read the job description and have applied for jobs they will never get
People who have no questions to ask

To be dressed sloppy to be dirty looking. chewing gum. saying yeah and nope instead of yes and no. Not having all the information needed from you. not being sure of what you want in the job ..
