&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Vault&#39;s career coach, Debra Wheatman, is featured in&amp;nbsp;a Forbes.com&amp;nbsp;article called &quot;The Worst Interview and Resume Mistakes, and How to Avoid Them&quot;. Here&#39;s an excerpt:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;word-spacing: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; text-align: left; orphans: 2; widows: 2;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;margin-right: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoPlainText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;A few minutes into an interview with a promising advertising sales representative, the candidate&#39;s cellphone rang. Instead&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;being&amp;nbsp;embarrassed that he forgot to shut it off, he asked the recruiter, Debra Wheatman, &quot;Do you mind if I grab this for one quick sec?&quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoPlainText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoPlainText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Of course she minded.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoPlainText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoPlainText&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;That he answered the phone spoke volumes about him. His r&amp;eacute;sum&amp;eacute; went straight into the trash. It didn&#39;t matter how qualified he was; Wheatman wasn&#39;t hiring someone who valued a cellphone call over a job opportunity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoPlainText&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Seems like common sense, right?&amp;nbsp; But you&#39;d be surprised at how many obvious&amp;nbsp;blunders&amp;nbsp;you may be guilty of until they&#39;ve been&amp;nbsp;specifically pointed out to you.&amp;nbsp; To read more excellent advice, be sure to check out Deb&#39;s Vault blog, Deb&#39;s Career Corner.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;--Posted by Linda Petock, Vault News &amp;amp; Commentary&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
