Interview Bloopers

We've all seen the "routine"  part of most interviews....I came across some real gems on the net...a must dekko....LOL

A survey of top personnel executives of 100 major American corporations came up with these stories of unusual behavior by job applicants. The lowlights:

• Said he was so well-qualified [that] if he didn't get the job, it would prove that the company's management was incompetent.

• Kept giggling through serious interview.

• She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time.

• Balding candidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece.

• Applicant challenged interviewer to arm wrestle.

• Asked to see interviewer's resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate.

• Said if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.

• Wouldn't get out of the chair until I would hire him. I had to call the police.
• When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.

• Pulled out a Polaroid camera and snapped a flash picture of me. Said he collected photos of everyone who interviewed him

• Asked who the lovely babe was, pointing to the picture 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 my office, 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. (Wall Street Journal 1989)
• Asked if I wanted some cocaine before starting the interview.

and finally......

• He took off his right shoe and sock, removed a medicated foot powder and dusted it on the foot and in the shoe. While he was putting back the shoe and sock, he mentioned that he had to use the powder four times a day, and this was the time.
