From StrangeCosmos… What NOT to do at a job interview… From a survey of human resource managers at major corporations when they were asked for stories of unusual behavior by job applicants, revealed the following:
1. “… stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application.”
2. “She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time.”
3. “A balding candidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece.”
4. “… asked to see interviewer’s resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate.”
5. “… announced she hadn’t had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer’s office.”
6. “Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.”
7. “Interrupted the question to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview questions.”
8. “When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.”
9. “At the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, went through his briefcase, took out a brush, brushed his hair, and left.”
10. “… pulled out a camera and snapped a flash picture of me. Said he collected photos of everyone who interviewed him.”
