  2. Wearing clothes that are inappropriate
  3. Not making any eye contact
  4. Checking their cell phone
  5. Weird body language or posture

The managers were also asked about thing they did like about certain candidates. They said they loved when they're asked questions and engaged about the job that their interviewing for. In addition, they like to see people being their authentic selves.
