Well if I can give you some advice (being the person that does the first screening when receving resumes)
  1. Be sure that you know for which job you applied. I get too much people that simply apply for the job to get a job and don't really know what to expect and the responsibilities. Usually, if the job description says that you will have to work 40 hours a week, don't go saying that you are looking for part-time.

    I'm pretty sure that you didn't commit this mistake, but the point is: the job description gives you a good idea of what the job is, so try to see in advance how your previous experience can be useful on those points.
  2. Dress in a professional manner: I've seen too much people dressed funny. Dressing professionally means that you really are serious about it.
  3. Don't get late or too in advanced ti the interview: if you're late, you better have a good reason such as the weather or an accident. «I don't know where the building was» is not a good answer. Plus, if you are not going to be able to be at the interview, tell the person in advance, not 1 hours after she's expecting you.

    I have seen so many of these cases, that the people confirmed they were going to be there and they never show up, call two hours later to tell they had a problem and are not able to make it. If you're going to be late, notify at least. If you're not going to show up, do the same.
  4. Read about the company and its productrs before getting to the interview. That means you show interest in the company.
  5. As for the three bad habits: that's the tricky question. Choose something that does not dequalify you for the job. "I spend too much money!" is not a good answer if you're going to be in charge of administrating money. "I tend to forget names" is ok if you're not working with much people.
  6. Don't lie. Don't make up an interest you don't have. If you say you're a gamer and obviously you don't show enthousiasm when the interviewer of the game company speaks to you about Halo. It's going to show. I use this criteria a lot. And don't lie about things, the world is small, and you might not know it, but the recruiter and your last employer might be best friends.
  7. Don't make up diplomas or experience you don't have: a background check is common nawadays.
  8. Don't cheat on tests: Anyone can copy paste your answer in google and see if it comes up.

This is just some advice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
Not six....more like half a dozen...
