"Interview Insanity. . ."
Not Hired (March 26, 2008)
"According to several sites on the net (i.e., possibly apocryphal) personnel executives of 100 major American corporations were asked for stories of unusual behavior by job applicants:
"Said he was so well qualified [that] if he didn’t get the job, it would prove that the company’s management was incompetent."
And quite a few more.
First, kudos for the "i.e., possibly apocryphal" disclaimer. Good stories don't need to be true - and I appreciate this sort of candor.
Second, these are funny - and crazy enough to actually be true.
