Someone I know just told me that a manager at his work was interviewing people for a job and yesterday she interviewed this woman.. The woman goes in, and she (manager) gives her the whole "thank you for come out today, blah blah blah" and she then ask the woman "so tell me why you are interested in the job" and the woman tells her "I already know I have this job because Jesus told me".

How does someone tell themselves that would be a good thing to say? The person who told me that just said it was for some low paying job so she is use to interviewing some interesting people, but that was a first for her.

a guy interviewing me for my current job asked me if i want to buy a crossbow and then pulled it out from under his desk.


my ex interviewed a guy who wouldn't be in the room with two women and no man present because he was married.

I did the Cutco training for about an hour (before I realized it was a complete scam) and the trainer guy asked why we are interested in working so on and so on. One guys response "I want to make them dead presidents". I realize were it comes from but just struck me off guard when said in what was billed to be a professional environment.

Okay.

If I can prove it, how much are you willing to bet that someone told me that story?

"Can the company see what I do on my phone if it's hooked to the internal wifi, I've heard they can" ?

I was asked this by a recent college graduate (female).

If Jesus already told her she's getting it what does it matter what she says? Tell your friend to be careful about firing her.

Whenever interviewing male candidates, I like to put them at ease by reassuring them that they won't be expected to put out until the call back.

If it did happen it is because she is on unemployment and doesn't really want the job, just has to verify she is looking for a job.

I work in HR, conduct about 200 interviews a year so I’ve heard a shitload of weird stuff.

One guy asked how my wife’s knee was doing, guess he checked out her FB somehow and saw she had knee surgery like 4 months prior.

Another guy asked the other interviewer if she recognized him. She appologized and said no. He went on to say he sees her dropping her kids off at XYZ school and she drives the gray Lexus and went into EXTEME detail describing her kids. It made us both uncomfortable as hell.

Didn’t hire either of them.

Had a lady repeatedly say “long jeopardy” as opposed to “longevity”. Cringeworthy.
