And nearly all employers (87%) say they know within the first 15 minutes.

Sometimes hiring managers can eliminate a candidate immediately because they've crossed the line and done something completely inappropriate.

In its survey, which included 2,201 respondents, CareerBuilder asked hiring managers and human resource professionals about the most outrageous mistakes they've ever seen candidates make during job interviews.

Below, they reveal the worst job interview blunders of all time:

• Applicant warned the interviewer that she "took too much Valium" and didn't think her interview was indicative of her personality.

• Applicant acted out a "Star Trek" role.

The job interview is not only an opportunity to prove that you are qualified to perform the available job, but to also demonstrate that you're the type of person others will want to work with. If you have any doubt about what you're about to say, do, or wear in an interview, well, it's probably best to skip it.
