1. Don't talk for 30 minutes at the beginning of your interview about the intricacies of why you have only been at your last job for three months and you're looking for a new one already. 2 minutes is more than enough time.

2. Don't blabber on in general. If you can say something in 5 minutes, don't take 20 minutes to say it.

3. If your interview is running over time due to your incessant talking and you then ask about hours at the job because you notice how late it is and the interviewers say that they normally don't stay this late and are just there for the interview and everyone agrees it's late... Don't then point out a company sticker on a laptop and take another 20 minutes telling a story of an interview you went to at that company a year ago. No one gives a [LIFTED].

4. Don't talk about [LIFTED] that no one cares about. I don't care about the ins and outs of how or why the company you worked at for 2 months a year and a half ago went bankrupt.

In case you can't tell I was sitting in on an interview today. Should've got home about 7. Ended up leaving the office at 7:15 and got home at 9.

Tip at life:

If no one is paying you, go the [LIFTED] home.
