Here is another of my interviews disasters, but this has a moral at the end. However, it started before I arrived at the company that I was interviewing with. About an hour before I had my interview, I was very hungry. I went to a cafe and ate a sandwich with roasted portobello mushrooms, fresh mozzerella and sun dried tomato paste. It was either the mushrooms or the tomato paste that contained garlic or they both did. Unfortunately, I didn't have any breath mints on me. I had my interview, but the interviewer luckily didn't say anything about my garlic breath. It wasn't until after it was over that someone noticed -- my mom. She was mad at me for committing one of the worst job interview faux pas. I didn't get the job anyway either due to a lack of experience or the garlic.

Moral of the story: If you need to eat something, have something very bland. However, if you accidently have something with garlic or onions, brush your teeth, chew gum or invest in Altoids (take two at the same time).
