Don’t Want to Get Hired? Try doing these...

Career Builder has listed ten “red flags” that scream don’t hire me to potential employers. In today’s uncertain economy, you probably don’t need any extra help when it comes to struggling to find a job. So as an FYI, here they are:
  • Red flag No. 1: You don't have any contact information on your résumé
  • Red flag No. 2: You have long gaps between jobs on your résumé
  • Red flag No. 3: You aren't prepared for the interview
  • Red flag No. 4: You didn't provide any references
  • Red flag No. 5: You only have negative things to say about previous employment
  • Red flag No. 6: You've held seven different jobs -- in the past six months
  • Red flag No. 7: You give inconsistent answers in your interview
  • Red flag No. 8: You lack flexibility
  • Red flag No. 9: Your application was, in a word -- lazy
  • Red flag No. 10: You lack objective or ambition
