OK... if you or anyone you know plans on applying for new employment this year you just MAY want to avoid these... :-)

CareerBuilder surveyed more than 6,000 people around the country, and asked them about the DUMBEST things they'd seen people do in job interviews.  Here are the six best answers . . .

#1.)  One person reached under the table and put their hand on the interviewer's KNEE.

#2.)  Another person HUGGED the president of the company.

#3.)  One person said they quit their last job, at a bank, because they were always tempted to STEAL.

#4.)  A person paused in the middle of the interview to call their current boss and PRETEND to be sick to get out of work.

#5.)  A woman emptied the interviewer's entire candy dish into her pocket.

#6.)  And finally, one guy said he wouldn't take the job if it required waking up early or reading.
