10 Subtle Ways to Sabotage Your Interview
Jeff Hindenach | NursingLink
Problem: Bad posture during a nursing interview can give the impression that you are lazy or disrespectful — and who wants to hire a lazy nurse? Reclining might tell the interviewer that you are bored or cocky. Slouching forward gives the impression of nervousness. If you are constantly shifting from one position to another it shows that you are uncomfortable, which in turn can make the interviewer uncomfortable. None of these traits are desirable in a nursing candidate!
How to Fix It: Relax against the back of your chair. Make sure your feet are firmly planted on the floor and engage your core. Avoid sitting up too straight, as that can also make you look uncomfortable. It may sound crazy, but practice sitting at home and see how long you can hold a comfortable position without too much shifting around.

" 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".

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.
