10 Subtle Ways to Sabotage Your Interview
Jeff Hindenach | NursingLink
Problem: Showing that you are excited and energetic about your new job is good, but nervous energy paints a whole different picture. Constantly bouncing your leg, tapping your finger, or shifting around every 10 seconds is distracting and shows that you are unable to sit still, which is unprofessional. If you can’t sit through a 30-minute interview, how are you going to manage to hold a clamp at precisely the right angle for an entire surgery? You get the idea.
How to Fix It: Take deep, steady breaths beforehand. Pay attention to your breathing during the interview processs, make sure it hasn’t quickened, and keep it at a slow, steady pace. Pretend your feet are cemented to the floor to keep your legs from bouncing. And keep the hand gestures to a minimum!

" I recently went to a job interview,( I will not name where ); the interviewers,( 3 ),
actually LAUGHED HYSTERICALLY when I produced high school diploma / transcripts,
as well as nursing school diploma / transcripts.The interview was more like being
a contestant on Jeapardy:"Try to name / match all of your instructors you both shared,NOW."
I'm sure another candidate for interview has experienced such awkward experiences,
whereby you just want to CRAWL UNDER YOUR SEAT."

Gee, if you're afraid of germs to the point of avoiding minimum social contact like hand shaking, maybe the healthcare field is the wrong place to be working, IMHO.
If you've ever taken a beer to a job interview, you might be a redneck. However a wine cooler shows real sophistication. Also In My Humble Opinion.

I recently went for an interview and when I presented my hand for a handshake, the HR officer told me "I'm sorry, I can't shake your hand because of the Swine Flu".

I can not believe anyone takes a cell phone in to an interview.

In my past two interviews, both interviewers have declined to shake my hand for sanitiation purposes. The first was just coming back after being out with a cold and didn't want to unintentionally infect me, and the second told me that hospital policy had shifted away from unneccessary personal contact because of concerns about the swine flu.
