Knowing what you should say and do during a job interview would be the smarter option, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to have a laugh at what you shouldn’t.

Here are some of my favourite interview blunders.

• “Of course I have previous experience … I’ve had four jobs during the past three months”

• “Is that a mole on your face?”

• “You’re really hot for someone your age, any children?”

• “Is Facebook blocked on the employee computers?”

• “Is it possible to get a decorating-allowance? The colour you chose for the walls is just awful”

• “Is it possible to have half days on Fridays… and Mondays off?”

• “phheeuw, someone had eggs for breakfast”

• “um… uh… well… my strengths… uh… (frown)… now that’s a difficult question”

Assuming you stay clear of these little gems and follow some of our other CV and interview tips, you should be just fine.
