Rothman: Top 10 Ways to Bomb a Hiring Interview

Johanna Rothman, author HIRING THE BEST KNOWLEDGE WORKERS,
TECHIES & NERDS, recently blogged on ten ways that hiring
managers and HR folks -- not just candidates -- can bomb interviews:

"When the HR manager starts negotiating about salary and the
candidate doesn't even know if he or she wants the job. One
of my interviews started with the HR manager. The HR manager
must have been under orders to keep salaries down. The first
thing he said was, 'You make too much money.' I said, 'Not yet.
I'm looking for a raise from you if I come to work here.' The
conversation went downhill quickly. I left and called the hiring
manager from reception, explaining I was leaving. He convinced
me to wait 5 minutes, but it was hard to take anything seriously
from those folks."
