But some job applicants go light years beyond this. We surveyed top personnel executives of 100 major American corporations and asked for stories of unusual behavior by job applicants. The lowlights:
– “…stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application.”
– “She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time.”
– “A balding candidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece.”
– “…asked to see interviewer’s resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate.”
– “… announced she hadn’t had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer’s office – wiping the ketchup on her sleeve.”
– “Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.”
– “Interrupted to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview questions.”
– “When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.”
– “At the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, went through my purse, took out a brush, brushed his hair, and left.”
– “…pulled out a Polaroid camera and snapped a flash picture of me. Said he collected photos of everyone who interviewed him.”
2. A Scary Visit
One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in tiny Smithville wakes up early and goes to their local church. Before the service starts, the townspeople sit in their pews and talk about their lives, their families, etc.
Suddenly, at the altar, Satan appears!! Everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in their determined efforts to get away from Evil Incarnate.
Soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sits calmly in his pew, seemingly oblivious to the fact that G~d’s ultimate enemy is in his presence. This confuses Satan a bit.
Satan walks up to the man and says, “Hey, don’t you know who I am?”
The man says, “Yep, I sure do.”
Satan says, “Well, aren’t you afraid of me?”
The man says, “Nope, I sure ain’t.”
Satan, perturbed, asks, “And why aren’t you afraid of me?”
“Well, I’ve been married to your sister for 25 years.”
3. A Brave Man
True bravery is arriving home late after a guy’s night out, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and still having the guts to ask:
“Are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?”
