How NOT to Get Hired in 10 Easy Steps

Here is an adaptation to the following article from Career Builder (See article here).

10 Steps To Keep From Getting a Job:
  1. Never put contact information for previous employers - make those looking to hire you do more work
  2. Have lots of gaps between periods of employment. Look undesirable
  3. Be completely unprepared for your interview - don't have any legitimate questions or don't research the company you want to work for
  4. Don't provide references - they actually might get you hired
  5. Be very negative about previous employers
  6. Be a job hopper - Get as many jobs as you can in six months
  7. Give inconsistent answers in the interview (Keep them guessing about you)
  8. Don't be flexible - give them your demands!
  9. Don't craft your cover letter and resume to fit the company looking to hire you
  10. And above all, don't have any ambition - Waste Your Life
Follow any one or more of these ten and you are guaranteed not to get a job! Hope that helps.
