Whats you most laughable job interview?

[87112]

Mine is not really laughable but at how serious the employer takes themselves.

Here goes- its a Holiday temp job for a charity. They get a ton of checks in the mail and you open the letter and there is a database and you key in the info ( routing number, acct #, dollar amount) and hit enter. Thats it all day 8 hrs.

A 1-1.5 month job paying 14.50 hr and 2 people interviewed me. You know what at one point I wanted to tell them any 7th to 8th grader could do this considering how awesome kids are with computers but I held my tongue. LOL at data entry to the ultra extreme needing 2 interviewers I think some people take themselves way too serious out there. I did not get the #@! job. I feel white collar people are the biggest snobs in the world, thinking their shit don't stink.

Yes, I am embarrassed at not getting a monkey's job. I am employed now, it was last holiday for this nutty interview. A temp firm sent me there.
Why did they not just order a hot blonde with long legs instead of wasting my time!!

Two interviews, where I was one of the interviewers:

1: fairly common occurrence is applicants who exaggerate their qualifications. All these can be Googled or checked/verified online or by email. My friend loves to drag out an interview and at the end she says, you know, we would have hired you if you hadn't lied about your degree....

2: people in their twenties whose mommy wants to sit in on the interview. GTFO now.

I had, many years ago, applied for an office position down town.... at the time of the interview, I measured 36C-24-36... my curls hung to my elbows.. and I stood (still do lol) 5'9".... being this shape.. and blonde, I was unfortunately used to people not realising I also have quite the brain <grin>... and the dolt that interviewed me was no exception....

I arrived a few minutes early, to be sure to find the right office... I was offered a seat in reception, and a cup of water... I sat.. waited for a while... started feeling strange when the office was emptying, and still I sat.. not being told anything else... odd... but okay...

Finally, an older man (I was almost 30 at the time so hehe) came out.. looked at me and swallowed hard,then quickly slapped a big false-toothed cheesy grin on his face.... shook my hand, and we went into his office...
he had my extensive resume.. remarked on all my qualifications, and that he was *surprised* at all of them (wtf? ass.....)... and then asks me if I wore skirts all the time..(I had on a suit dress... respectable.. simple.. clean-cut).... I asked him to repeat himself.. he asked again.. pointing at not the outfit, but the slim and muscled legs beneath it...(fucker).....
I said I usually wore skirts,and asked why he wanted to know that... he said 'I prefer my girls in nice short skirts' What... thefuck?! lol
he actually had balls enough to ask me if I wore short ones.. and how short were they..... I stood.. said they were longer than his dick.. and left

.....loser laughed once I got out of there but really? greasy lil fucker.... not in this lifetime! hehe I'd break him in half!

Lol..... nicely done..... I like your style!

My last job interview was the best. Got into a tiny office for a two month summer job. I thought, WTF. Five guys and me squeezed into an office built for max two people......weird.....made me a bit nervous. After the long introduction, the head guy asked me if I had anything to say before the interview started.
I have a disability that could have been a problem doing the work. Made sure to let them know. Turned out three of the guys have the same issue.
I was in and a few softball questions were tossed at me.

Easiest interview ever!

Been going for a few interviews over the past couple of weeks, and after each one whether or not I got the job(I haven't yet), I at least feel like i'm that much more prepared for the next interview. With all their damn "behavioural" type questions and what not.

Anyway, today I had an interview at a recruiter - so i go in feeling super comfortable thinking there's not much pressure since im not interviewing directly, and its in the best interest of the agency to get you work.
I arrive in the vicinity with lots of time to spare. Decided to get a coffee to get a little energy boost. Get to the office in the waiting room, feeling good, relaxed, ready for this interview.
When its time, the girl who id spoken to on the phone with, who I'm about to interview shows up. She is drop dead fucking gorgeous. Think like a Katie Perry type, stunning piercing blue eyes and extremely perky and well spoken. All of a sudden im sitting there BOILING sweat is building on my face im tryin to keep my composure during the interview. Took my jacket off but still overheating.. At this point im even more nervous thinking she thinks im nervous cuz im noticeably sweating (over nothing!!) and its making it worse like a negative feedback loop! I think i managed to sweat less past the halfway point of the interview, but she probably thought I was a damn weirdo. Pretty funny in hindsight.

You need therapy. Spend a lot of time with really hot SPs to get comfortable being around beautiful women.&#55357;&#56832;

Might come as a shock to you but yeah, there are good looking people in real life! Better get used to it, brother.

The interview is not only to see if you are able to do the job. They also want to get a feel for what you like as a person, because you have to interact with other people in the office as a team. They do not want someone who is going to cause trouble or strife in the office, or someone who is lazy. A big part of the process is to see if you fit or not.

Hanging out with hot SPs requires money. For most of us, that means having a job. Catch 22.

I guess the lesson I I had In the following " Interview" is learn to get along with co workers no matter who or what they are .

I was downtown one day and it started to rain so I saw I was near an advertising office and It had a sign that they where accepting resumes . I decided to drop mine off to get out of the rain at the same time I walked in handed my resume to A woman behind a desk with a sign that said Resumes here with an arrow pointing down to a office tray. she took my resume All I can remember about her was she was very quit and said nothing at first . As I was about to walk out I herd the sound of a small bell sounded sort of like "dingle dingle dingle"

I looked down and found the source of the noise was a large white rat inside a plastic exercise ball. That seemed to be looking up at me and closely examining my face As if he was expecting some food or something from Me.

With a small bell on a small red leash tied around its neck,
I kneeled down and smiled at the rat and said oh how cute what is It's name? To the woman behind the desk , She then seemed rather annoyed and said In a loud clear voice " his name is Henry "

I said to the rat" hello Henry" At which point the rat turned inside the plastic exercise ball and with a " dingle dingle dingle " moved out of the room
The woman then Said " IM sorry this Is not going to work " To me she then gave my resume back . I said oh I guess I was unqualified she said" Oh no you where perfectly qualified .we needed someone to do photo copying Its Just that "Henry hates to be called cute." I left after having found out I had offended and been rejected by what I assumed was a pet rat

I guess it just came as a big surprise.You dont really come across hot young women in that industry. I mean the smart ones know how to really cash out from their aesthetic blessings. But yes I need need some SP therapy smash more 10s, and COF too! Fake it till you make it bros!

My best friend set me up for an entry-level office job with his firm. It was pretty much guaranteed, just had to interview with the area manager.

What I didn't know is that the manager was Scottish and wanted to mess with me. After introductions, he sat me down and started to turn on his accent so thickly that I couldn't understand a freakin'
word. I was basically smiling and agreeing with him while he asked things like "Does your mother know you're incredibly ugly? Are you willing to work 24 hour shifts for free? Will you give back half your salary?" etc.

Intercom on the whole time and the rest of the office listening and laughing their asses off. Turned out to be a terrific boss and a pretty good job for a young kid.

I left after having found out I had offended and been rejected by what I assumed was a pet rat

That's pretty funny. Perhaps Henry prefers to be called handsome. Psssh. He could have laid out his boundaries first.

At one interview I was asked "if you could be any type of tree what would you be?". Wth?

At another I was asked to sell the interviewer a pen. Argh.

I had a manger's position in a sales company before and after leading a couple of men into the interview room and got seated had been asked when the manager was coming in. I was in my early 20s and they looked like fools because they had been openly flirting with me beforehand and neglected my authority. No job for you!

 

[westwoody]

Claire, I work with a really cute woman with an MBA who is smart as hell.
She is rather petite and looks like she is about fifteen years old, though she is actually over thirty.
Pity the fools who underestimate her!

I interview a lot of people, and this is exactly it.
You maybe well qualified to do the job, so my goal is to discover whatyou are like as a person.
Because likely 1000 others applied who are also qualified to do the job.
Your attitude and who you are is what gets gou the job or not.
I've seen and heard a lot of weird stuff in interviews.

A co worker Joe was trying hard to get a job at a competing company. I new the foreman at the other company, and he told me every time Joe came to see him to ask if they were hiring he brought gifts for the the foreman and boss. The only problem was all the gifts were items he had stole from our company. Joe could not understand why they never called him for a interview.
