I remember going for an interview.........won't say who with......
I was appalled!
They had their pet dog with them and informed me that he was
part of the furniture


I walked out!

I have been the interviewer and interviewee on dozens of occasions.

Most embarassing moment for potential employee.

A very attractive young girl handed me her resume and asked if I had any salesperson positions available in my computer stores.

I always take the time to talk to enterprising Gen Y who have the guts to walk in and ask.

So I sat her down whilst I read her resume.

Then I asked her to read out a line onher resume and she says, "I have had three years extensive experience in public relations."

Nope, try again I said.

Then I saw her face turn bright red and she stuttered something and got up to leave.

It actually said "I have had three years extensive experience in PUBIC relations."

I sat her down and signed her up anyway and she was an excellent salesperson.

Most embarrasing moment as potential employee.

Had a very intense second interview for a position I really wanted when I was an IT Contractor.

They were firing questions left, right and centre and I thought I did pretty well.

I shook their hands and was leaving the office feeling quite chuffed when I walked straight into a closed, but very clean and clear, glass door.

I woke up on the floor with the chief interviewer performing first aid and a huge lump on my head.

I got the job but for a few months some smart aleck kept sticking up signs with arrows saying "Mark. Beware. Door!" even on normal doors.

Shortest Interview as potential employee.

I was trying to get a "golden handshake" from Telecom, our huge telecommunications company.

They were intent on keeping me so sent me off for an interview in a different part of the company.

First question was "This section is responsible for rolling out ISDN. What does ISDN stand for?"

I knew the answer which was Integrated Services Digital Network. But I certainly did not want the job so answered "It Still Does Nothing".

"I think that is all we need to know Mr Dodd. Thanks for your time".

Wasn't it great to see Stuart squirm He should have gone last week, but on the other hand he will be forever remembered where as the others will soon be forgotten, who will win do you think My money's on Stella.
