Seven Deadly Sins

Pride

Refusing to sit down may annoy your interviewer.

Avarice

Taking calls from other headhunters during the interview could be construed as bad manners.

Sloth

Turning up drunk, late, on the wrong day does not always give a good impression.

Lust

Don’t try coming on to your interviewer – at least not during the interview.

Gluttony

Eating your breakfast-to-go or your packed lunch during the interview might give you spinach-in-the-teeth.

Wrath

Don’t get aggressive – an interview is not a battle. And try not to swear.

Envy

Bringing a portfolio of work that is not yours is dodgy in anyone’s eyes.
