I've recently interviewed 3 candidates for a high level executive position, and 2 of the 3 have openly cussed during the interview. Like f-bombs and GD's.

I was immediately taken aback. Has all decorum evaporated from society? Is this now acceptable? What gives?

This isn't as subtle a brag as you think it is.

Executive position in what field?

It could be a function of interviewing Boomhauer types or it could be the field in question tends to draw those kinds of personalities.

Not acceptable in a professional setting, much less a job interview.

Happy hour, sure.

You’re just shitty at picking candidates to interview.

I’ve also had interviewers cuss during interviews. Trying to lure me into a trap, but I see them.

I cussed at a job interview, but after the person interviewing me cussed and to be fair.. I pretty much had the job already.

Gimme a shot, I promise I won't cuss

Speaking of classlessness, I went to a wake recently and saw people in jeans and sweatpants.

Yeah, that’s classless. I’ll say in an interview that “I’ll bust my arse” but that’s about as vulgar as I will get.

I interviewed with a company, they flew me in for the interview, and they took me to......HOOTERS. Seriously. This was in New Orleans too. Don’t think you could fail any worse than that.

They probably did it to weed out the homos. Sorry you didn't make the cut
