The highly qualified creative professional who put his feet on her desk after being dismissive to office staff. And the promising PR candidate whose constant Apple Watch checking completely derailed what should have been a successful interview.But not all stories involve disasters. Trina also shares the executive whose thoughtful gesture of gratitude - a personal visit with a handwritten card - still touches her years later. His response demonstrates what professional etiquette is really about: showing others that they matter.Your interview begins the moment you enter the building and ends the moment you leave.
