great interview anecdotes, from http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/...p;ana=e_du_wknd *Candidate asked, “What company is this again?” *Candidate put the interviewer on hold during a phone interview. When she came back on the line, she told the interviewer that she had a date set up for Friday. *When a candidate interviewing for a security position wasn’t hired on the spot, he painted graffiti on the building. *Candidate wore a Boy Scout uniform and never told interviewers why. *Candidate was arrested by federal authorities during the interview when the background check revealed the person had an outstanding warrant. *On the way to the interview, the candidate passed, cut-off, and flipped his middle finger at the driver who happened to be the interviewer. ....Candidate asked for a sip of the interviewer’s coffee.

So I guess they weren't hired, huh? Gotta remember that Boy Scout Uniform idea! I could see some fun in going to interviews just for the entertainment value!

*On the way to the interview, the candidate passed, cut-off, and flipped his middle finger at the driver who happened to be the interviewer. I can totally see this happening.

I had these theree interviews, back to back, one day:
1. Griped the entire time about previous employer owing her money for waitressing and that she has filed a sexual harrassment against them. Drugs were also involved.
2. The next person talked almost exclusively about her love for her iguana.
3. The next person kept talking about the Lord. Now that wasn't a problem BUT she kept vigorously (sp?) fanning both hands in front of her face to dry the tears and kept saying "I'm sorry, but I always tear up when I talk about the Lord".
Very hard to keep these interviews going.

Very hard to keep these interviews going. sounds like candidate #1 is the best option, cause if this is what you're getting then drugs will definitely be called for

It's illegal to give another driver the finger in Jersey! It's probably also illegal to drive with an obstructed view of your rear license plate, which is why DQ can't let her hair hang out the sunroof.

My favorite interview the youngster asked where his desk would be and should he start working now or tomorrow...nothing like a positive attitude!
