Each job seeker wants to stand out from the competition - but some candidates go wrong about everything.
For example, according to a new survey by CareerBuilder, sang a respondent their answers to the questions, while another gave a telephone interview to the toilet - and rinsed.

"It's hard to say which candidate would do some of these things," says Rosemary Haefner, Director of Human Resources on CareerBuilder.de. "Maybe he's nervous, I think an employer it would be fun, or maybe just the candidate has to find no boundaries. In any case, it could cost the job candidate, whether funny or not, it's probably not worth worth risk, these actions. The nerve can cause freezing in the spotlight, and that's normal. How do you handle that's what counts. "
