“One girl showed up for her interview in shorts and flip flops. One of the questions asked if she had any visible tattoos (which was important for the position she was applying for), and she said no. But on her way out, I noticed that she had a HUGE tattoo on her calf. Really?” says the hiring manager.

Moral of the story: Well, let’s start with this one — never lie in an interview. It’ll come back to bite you. And you can use your best judgment with this, but it’s probably a good idea to cover up your tattoos. You never know what your interviewer might think of them.
