This list is supposedly from company HR execs and these are the lowlights of interviewing people.
- She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time.
- A balding candidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece.
- ....asked to see interviewer's resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the
candidate.
- ....announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer's
office - wiping the ketchup on her sleeve.
- Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed
on his forearm.
- Interrupted to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview question.
- When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.
- At the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, he went through my purse, took out a
brush, brushed his hair, and left.
- ...pulled out a Polaroid camera and snapped a flash picutre of me. Said he collected photos of everyone
who interviewed him.
- Said he wasn't interested because the position paid too much.
- While I was on a long-distance phone call, the applicant took out a copy of Penthouse and looked through
the photos only, stopping longest on the centerfold.
- During the interview, an alarm clock went off from the candidate's briefcase. He took it out, shut
it off, apologized, and said he had to leave for another interview.
- A telephone call came in for the job appliant. It was from his wife. His side of the conversation
went like this;
"Which company? When do I start? What's the salary?" I said, "I assume your not interested in conducting
this interview any further." He promptly responded, "I am as long as you'll pay me more." I didn't hire him, but later found
out there was no other job offer, it was a scam to get a higher offer.
- His attache case opened when he picked it up and the contents spilled, revealing ladies' undergarments
and assorted makeup and perfumes.
- Candidate said he didn't really want to get a job, but the unemployment office needed proof that he
was looking for one.
- .... asked who the lovely babe was, pointing to the picutre on my desk. When I said it was my wife,
he asked if she was home now and wanted my phone number. I called security.
- ...pointing to a black case he carried into myoffice, he said that if he was not hired, the bomb would
go off. Disbelieving, I began to state why he would never be hired and that I was going to call the police. He then reached
down to the case, flipped a switch and ran. No one was injured, but I did need to get a new desk.
- Found an applicant stretched out on the floor filling out the application in crayon.
