\n\tNearly half of 2,000 Americans would rather stand in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for a full day than make a bad impression during a job interview, according to a study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of MOO. And nearly 6 in 10 would rather stay at a job they disliked than go out and interview for a new one.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther survey highlights:<\/p>\n

\n
• \n\t\t4 in 10 respondents admitted to forgetting an interviewer’s name, and 34% have forgotten the company’s name.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\t42% of respondents have yelled at an interviewer, and another 4 in 10 have left in tears.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tAmericans were much more likely to put pressure on a first impression in an interview than meeting their inlaws for the first time: 72% vs. 22%.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tMore than 7 in 10 respondents said they feel business cards are essential for interviews, and 65% said having them makes them feel more confident.<\/li>\n
• \n\t\tNearly three-quarters of Americans agreed a handshake can make or break an interview—with 53% saying a firm handshake is a must-have.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
