No matter your resume and talents, if you mess up a job interview you wont get that position. In todays tough economy you need every possible edge. As authors of the new book, I Hate People! Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work and Get What you Want Out of Your Job, we see it as a simple equation: You want to be liked -- not hated.

Here are 10 simple things to do that will dramatically increase your chances: from wearing the right expression, to knowing what not to say, to never ever breaking a sweat.

1. Dont be a smiley face.

Excessive smiling in a job interview is seen for what it is -- nervousness and a lack of confidence. A smiley-face person exudes phoniness, which will quickly be picked up by the interviewer. Instead be thoughtful and pleasant. Smile when theres something to smile about. Do a practice run in front of a mirror or friend.

2. Dont be a small-talker.

Your job is to be knowledgeable about the pany for which youre interviewing. Random facts about last nights episode of Dancing with the Stars or your forite blog will not get you the job. Never feel you he to fill an interview with small talk. Find ways to talk about serious subjects related to the industry or pany. Pockets of silence are better than padding an interview with random babble.

3. Dont sweat.

You can lose a job by wearing an undershirt or simply a little too much clothing. Sweaty palms or beads on your forehead will not impress. You are not applying to be a personal trainer. Sweat will be seen as a sign of weakness and nervousness. Do a practice run with your job interview outfit in front of friends. The job interview is one place you definitely dont want to be hot.

4. Dont be a road block.

Interviewers are seeking candidates eager to take on challenging projects and jobs. Hesitance and a nay-saying mentality will be as visible as a red tie -- and seen as a negative. Practice saying yes to questions about your interest in tasks and work that might normally give you pause.

5. Dont be petty.

Asking the location of the lunchroom or meeting room will clue the interviewer into your lack of preparation and initiative. Prepare. Dont ask questions about routine elements or functions of a pany: where stuff is, the size of your cube, and pany policy on coffee breaks.

6. Dont be a liar.

Studies show that employees lie frequently in the workplace. Lying wont get you a job. In a job interview even a slight exaggeration is lying. Dont. Never stretch your resume or embellish acplishments. Theres a difference between speaking with a measured confidence and engaging in BS. One lie can ruin your entire interview, and the skilled interviewer will spot the lie and show you the door.

7. Dont be a bad edian.

Humor tends to be very subjective, and while it may be tempting to lead your interview with a joke youve got to be careful about your material. You probably will know nothing about the sensibilities of your interviewer, let alone what makes them laugh. On the other hand, nothing disarms the tension of a job interview like a little laughter, so you can probably score at least a courtesy chuckle mentioning that its perfect weather for a job interview!

8. Dont be high-maintenance.

If you start talking about the ideal office temperature, the perfect chair for your tricky back, and how the water cooler needs to be filled with imported mineral water, chances are youll be shown a polite smile and the door, regardless of your qualifications. Nobody hiring today is going to be looking for someone whos going to be finicky about their workspace.

9. Dont be a time-waster.

At every job interview, the prospective hire is given the chance to ask questions. Make yours intelligent, to the point, and watch the person across the desk for visual cues whether youve asked enough. Ask too many questions about off-target matters and youll be thought of as someone destined to waste the panys resources with insignificant and time-wasting matters.

10. Dont be a switchblade.

Normally the switchblade is thought of a backstabber, often taking credit for someone elses work. In an interview setting, the switchblade cant help but trash talk his former employer. If you make it seem like your former workplace was hell on Earth, the person interviewing you might be tempted to call them to find out who was the real devil.
