Sometimes, it's what someone doesn't say or the attitudes and beliefs they betray non-verbally that communicate more than words and which really mean the most.

Author and trainer, Linda R. Dominguez, a coach with the Executive Coaching and Resource Network and guest presenter for an exclusive ExecuNet webinar, says non-verbal communication constitutes as much as 65 percent of any conversation you may engage in as a business leader.

 

 
I first interviewed with ExecuNet around Halloween and was charmed by the decorations until I saw the giant, purple inflatable spider standing guard in the center of the office space. Despite the combination of two big fears — job interviews and giant spiders — I performed well enough to get the offer. (The spider now appears annually right outside my office.)

This story pales in comparison to candidates who saw dream jobs turn into nightmares when confronted by interviewers behaving badly. We've collected some of the best worst job interview stories from ExecuNet members and asked some of our expert executive coaches to give their feedback. We've excerpted a few for you here.
