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


Holy shite!!

It reminds me of the time I was talking with this woman and she was asking me about someone I was friends with, who she knew and she told me "she did good for herself. In high school she graduated crown victorian..." Instead of valedictorian... But long jeopardy is funny..

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.


Yeah.. How do people convince themselves this shite is normal?

I think it's supposed to be a rule about not being alone with another woman.

Having a rule about not being alone with two women seems very...presumptuous.

i used to work with a guy who would ask the same question every time he interviewed someone.

"if you were an item in a grocery store, what would you be?"

I had an interviewer ask me who my favorite president was... I didn't know how to respond. It was such a loaded question and I didn't know what his political leanings were. I said I'm not sure and asked him who his favorite was. He said Lincoln, so I just said Washington to be done with it.

I was part of an interview panel yesterday for a peer. The guy we were interviewing started the interview by introducing himself. He was in internal candidate.

One of the first things he said was that he used to get to work early, at 6am, but now that he's salary he gets here at 7.

I thought, WTF? How is that relevant, and why would you share that????

After that he had a really good interview. I think he's a good candidate for the job and recommended he be hired. But that was a weird comment in the beginning.

I chalk it up to nerves.

I interviewed with a large freight company a long time ago for a “mgt training position” and the guy told me all about the job and how I could be loading freight one day, moving trailers around the yard, sweeping floors etc. and gave me the we work hard and play hard BS line. Was a real jerk. Then he asked, so this sound like something you’d be interested in? I said, no, I wouldn’t and stood up, shook his hand, thanked him for his five minutes and left. He looked liked he’d been kicked in the nuts.

My buddy interviewed a girl for a nursing job and he asked "what makes you interested in this job." She said "bc its close to home and gas be costing a lot." She also openly admitted to failing her final exam 4 times, he didnt even ask her about it. I mean you might want to keep that to yourself.

you know how they say a man's willingness to cheat is directly related to his options? This guy is just decreasing his options.

In the Midwest, I was interviewing a female medical student for residency, and she asked me where I was from. When I said Louisiana, she asked if I'd ever been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I said, yes, of course.

She then said, "That's so awesome. I hear it's like one big orgy."



Either someone has been feeding her wrong information, or I have been doing Mardi Gras ALL WRONG for many years (probably the latter). Also, who thinks it's OK to say the word "orgy" in a professional job interview? Needless to say, she wasn't chosen.
