    How many of these 10 have you committed?

    10 things not to say in a job interview | Money | guardian.co.uk

    Once I was late for an interview - got stuck on tube. I apologized and got the job.
    Swearing - I regularly swear in interviews. I must try not too.
    Uniforms - I did once refuse to wear the uniform in a gay bar. But they let me have the job anyway.

    AS usual ith my posts, there is at least 1 lie in there......

    Yeah, I expect the lie is the one about swearing in interviews
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      I swear to much. At last clientco some fella actually moved to another desk siting that I swore to much. I told him to grow the **** up.
      What happens in General, stays in General.
      You know what they say about assumptions!

        If people need to be told those things by a newspaper we're all screwed.

          Seems personality is not required in work any more.

          I haven't turned up at 9.00 for anyone since 1997 let alone earlier...
          I am profane in the worst possible tones.
          First questions I ask are about the money honey and the car allowance.

          If an employer cant deal with my normal personality for an hour, I am sure as hell, not going to last a week in the job.

                  Do you think that being a permie role your sub-conscious was taking over?

                    I used to be like that, but I changed when I moved to a place that has better weather.

                    I soon learnt that an early start meant I could scarper earlier and enjoy pavement cafes, restaurants or even my own garden during daylight hours.
