I am a pretty good interviewee, if I do say so myself, as I can bullshit with the best of 'em. So my biggest mistake wasn't so bad:
I interviewed for a sales job at a mens clothing store that carried mainly suits and other dress apparel.
I saw the interviewer, who was the store manager, was wearing a suit himself.
So I told him that I loved "dressing up" in suits and couldn't wait to start working there, which was BS, but a little enthusiasm and ass kissing never hurt.
He promptly informed me that, because of lagging sales, the store was switching to "street" apparel, and they wouldn't be carrying suits any longer.
Unfortunately I got the job, and because this was about 5 years before hip hop really got big, we couldn't sell any of that shit either.
