So Did He Get the Job?

People have a lot of great advice for when you’re interviewing for a new job: take time to research the company first, so that you sound knowledgeable when you get there. Plan to arrive early, so you have a buffer just in case something goes wrong on the way there. Be sure to dress up nicely to leave the best possible impression on the interviewer.

Well, here’s a new piece of advice for that list: don’t be a jerk to people in the parking lot of the building where you’re interviewing. Even if it doesn’t turn out that the person you were rude to is your interviewer, there’s a chance that whoever it was will be your coworker if you get the job, and that’s just going to cause awkwardness later.
