10 Subtle Ways to Sabotage Your Interview
Jeff Hindenach | NursingLink
Problem: Showing eagerness and excitement is one thing, but if you are cutting off the interviewer before he has the chance to get the question out, you can come across as rude, as well as incapable of listening. Why would they want to hire a nurse who can’t listen? In addition, you may end up answering what you thought the question was, instead of the real question.
How to Fix It: Make sure you are really, actively listening to each question. Keep your speech patterns slow. Always wait for your interviewer to finish his question, and then think for five seconds before you answer. This will guarantee that you’ve heard the question and gives you time to structure a well-thought-out answer.

" 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.
