This video is a fun and engaging look at behaviors to avoid in an interview. It clearly outlines 10 different behaviors with obvious problems, and then shows or discusses what should be done instead. I highly recommend this for any class that is studying job skills and interview skills. It's also good to show basic professional etiquette
