Ive chewed gum in my last couple interviews. Not loudly of course.
You should do that and let us know how your interview went
I wouldn’t be able to tell if chewing gum was a factor in getting rejected
Lmao. Looks like even without chewing gum you’ll still get rejected.
Nothing is rude, let's not complicate things. Interviews today are way too formal which should ideally have been casual 1:1 talks without judging one's appearance or actions. As long as you don't say or do something illegal, everything else should be fine. But that's not the world we live in.
I would still not risk it just incase. I just a day if you can stop yourself for couple hours why not. As shown by the poll people clearly incline with yes it is rude.
Can’t do that. I need gum for interviews else I would have to drink water water nonstop, which would mean I’d be pissing like a race horse
11 people are stupid and are likely unemployed or soon to be unemployed
Its very rude to chew gum when you are talking. Common etiquette your parents should have taught you.
I’m not doing it on purpose. Unfortunately, I need it for interviews. There’s no way around it.
Of course theres a way around it, its just you are lazy to build the correct habit. Its like saying “i cant quit smoking because ive been smoking for past several years”
My biggest gaffe in the interview. Interview : Do you have any more question ? Me: Nah..I am cool ( I realized I messed up 😕) immediately. The interviewers face turned pale for a sec 🤣, then he brings back his dimeneur and says 'well, it was wonderful meeting you' . Got the offer !!!
Say that while blowing a giant bubble. I am cool. (POP)
Why do you need to chew gum again?
So I can keep talking
Please explain, because I’m lost. Worried about bad breath?
Lol it’s 100% rude and will very likely to make the interview think you don’t care for the conversation.. I get that it’s weird to mention it, but that’s the only choice you have if you really need to chew it for medical reason. Even though it’s a bit awkward, they will know you’re not being weird and disrespectful, just have a condition. ( Also it has nothing to do with how you are during the word day. You can wear headphones during the day and eat yogurts, which would be pretty weird to do during the interview )
Reject from me if you're chewing gum.
That’s messed up. What would your feedback be?
Poor communication
It will come across as not giving a fuck
I come across as the opposite in interviews other than chewing gum
You might think that, but you can only guess how the interviewers take it, which is why you started this poll, no? First impression matters

How much of your household take-home pay goes to the mortgage?
Is this even a question? Leaning no hire.
I’ve chewed gum during all my interviews for medical reasons. Maybe that’s the reason Amazon rejected me lol
If its a medical reason Im sure people will understand it just mention it before hand so you don’t come across as a dick.
