Reply to: The Cr@ppest Interview Questions; Your nominations please

[Sockpuppet]

I once went for an interview at the "Big W" for a driving job.

Them: I'd like you to sing and dance for me...showes your a team player.

Me: What part of being a lorry driver makes you think that I want to be part of the ******* team.

[Bluebird]

not a question but, as an introduction before we did the interview


"So you're from Cardiff how will you travel up to manchester for a week each month ?"


Reply: "erm, I don't do travel, the agent should have told you that, and if thats the case I shouldn't be here"

Client: "ok, well thanks for coming along anyway, hope you haven't been too put out"

I have no idea why but when going for a Linux admin role I started explaining how a Sidewinder missile worked.

...I got the job too!

What is your weakness ?
I masturbate more than is probably healthy....

The Original book, Scouting For Boys by Robert Baden Powell covered this!

Mate went for a job from school - chap gets a map out and says - you have put down you were a scout. He gave him a grid reference and a number of directions and distances from the start point, then said looking north west what can you see - it was a church apparently...

If he was a Scout, then he should have know this.

In my early years ......

"Why would you like to work for Woolworths in particular?"

Had me tongue-tied that one.

[sli_gryn]

"so, do you prefer C# or the dot.net framework?"

...right

My 'interview' with the RAF was quite good.

Flight Lt "..and what are your views on drugs"

Me: "Rather hazy after the 2nd joint"

He laughted and said he liked my honesty. Wasn't until I singed up I discovered the random drug testing!

Yeah dam CDT!!

[freakydancer]

You won't be employing me. Period.

End of interview

End of being considered.

Never needed an interview since becoming a Freemason.

My step dad is the same he always manages to get things at special rates from his 'brethren'

I applied for a job at Amstrad, the feckin idiot gravel faced boss sent me out to make and sell chocolate lollies... WTF has that got to with anything? He was very rude during my appraisal so I told him where to stick his poncy job... it didn't pay enough anyway.

Often when I am interviewing and they are off guard at the end I throw in "If I were to give you £100, what would you do with it ?"

I find the responses quite revealing.

What answers did you get then? "Buy crack"?
