“My last boss fired me. That’s OK, though - it cost him over $6000 to fix the damage to his Corvette.”

“Fortunately, he couldn’t even answer the few technical questions I asked him, so it was a moot point anyway.”

Question #1

What's your name?

“Ummm...uhhhh.. hang on... let me check my parole card...”

That wouldn't hurt you in Michigan. The offices there empty out the first day of hunting season.

A friend of mine interviewed for a job as a 911 operator and had a panic attack in the interview! A committee of three did the interview. I don't know if having to interview with three people at once was the problem or what but she got all nervous & broke out in a sweat all over. It was painful hearing about it. No, she didn't get the job. The weird thing is that's she's normally extremely calm.

When I do team interviews, I usually like to take the first few minutes to engage in smalltalk, that generally will put the interviewee much at ease. It never helps to evaluate a candidate by trying to create an intimidating environment.

“When I had one guy with piercings come in, I immediately thought how to make the interview as short as possible and just get it over with. Fortunately, he couldn’t even answer the few technical questions I asked him, so it was a moot point anyway.”

The funny part was we didn’t hire her initially to the company, my boss actually recruited her from another group after working with her on an interdivisional project. He told me later that, had she walked in to his office from the beginning, he would have had a hard time getting past the appearance...

How is your death benifits here? Your breath really knocks ‘em dead!

How’s your pregnacy benifits here? The last company I worked for really screwed me!

What time is break time? Where is the restrooms, when is quitting time?

Sign this form showing I asked about a job. It’s for my welfare agent.

When interviewing for a current White House job: I'll need off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

I left my last job for the Rapture. Now I need a new one for a while.
