Interviewing fun

Posted in All on February 25th, 2007 · 2 Comments

There is an excellent question with plenty of great answers at LinkedIn:

What’s the worst thing you ever heard on a job interview?

The question involves both parties - the interviewer and the interviewee. It also covers situations all around the interview - CVs, waiting, arrangements, situations, and so on. There are some really funny answers, some scary, and some insightful. Overall - there are about 150 of them.

Here is a quote from one of the answers:

My favorite was the lady who had 23 jobs in under a year, but went on and on about how much her previous employers had hated to let her go.

Here is another one:

I had a candidate open an interview saying “I don’t respond well to questions. They make me feel unprepared.” The candidate was applying for a level 1 support opening.
