Job seekers most common (and unusual) interview mistakes

I agree with most of what Bond said. All I need is a job. I'm capable of performing said job, I'm on time, get along with everyone what else is there? Give me a chance to prove it.

Greatsite.thumbs up for posting.

We're a gaggle of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your website offered us with useful information to work on. You've done a formidable activity and our whole group shall be grateful to you.

I know some fat people who are the sweetest, most hardworking, honest, down to earth people you'd ever meet. They were raised by good hardworking people that taught them to live by the golden rule. They have gotten far in life with their good attitudes. Most of the posters on here were probably never raised to have morals or ethics or they wouldn't be so quick to judge, call names, and spew hate.

I am not sure why most of you people are so mean. My 'obese' friends would give you the shirt off their backs. I can't say that about most people, especially not most of the people posting on here. Would you ever go up to your plump grandmother and say such things? No? Then why do strangers deserve it?

Instead of getting all worked up over other peoples weight issues... Concentrate on yourself. Everyone has their vices... Some people cheat on their husbands or wives, some people drink, some people do drugs, some people do reckless things, some people gamble... And you people act like being fat is the worst thing a person can do.

I would like to know if you think maybe that today it truly is much harder to secure a public proxy? I've never been a professional in this industry, but earlier it had been easier to find a working proxy. Now it is very difficult. I think this is because increasing the amount of people who deal using spam. Too a lot of people are engaged throughout mindless spamming. You know some very good proxy service? I truly do not use a new proxy to fantastic, or send spam mail.

Hey I am so grateful I found your weblog, I really found you by error, while I was looking on Google for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a tremendous post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the minute but I have book-marked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the fantastic job.

The job interview process is a bunch of nonsense. Here are ten real reasons about what transpires and why the interviewers waste time about nothing:

The 10-reasons for not being hired are the usual nonsense reasons given why a job candidate fails to secure a job. Yes, there are Philistines who have no manners. However, the problem is the employers. The employers lie and waste time. Either there is a job available or not. Most employers interview either to justify the human resources department or for various office managers to fill time. Neither seeks to hire. Thus, no matter what a job candidate does will ever suffice to obtain a job.

The whole process should take about 45-minutes or less, one interview, and no need for endless meetings with various company people. The department that needs a person should interview the person. The company lies about the specific interviewer being away from his or her desk, in a meeting, out to lunch, or out of town are the usual signs that a company supposedly hiring is wasting someone's time let alone being rude toward a job candidate.

The interviewers are unprepared, as some never read the resume. The job for which the candidate came for the interview is magically changed, which makes the interview a waste of time. The bold face lies by companies are the reason for hiring problems, not whether a resume is printed on fancy paper, a candidate asks some absurd question to show interest, and or answers some asinine question posed by the interviewers.

To employers, here are the answers. I seek a job with your company because:

1.I NEED A DAMN JOB!

2.I MAKE MISTAKES FOR IF I WERE PERFECT, I WOULD CHOOSE THE WINNING LOTTERY NUMBERS AND NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUCH INTERVIEW NONSENSE.

3.BE PREPARED AND BE AVAILABLE IF YOU INTEND TO INTERVIEW ME.

4. THE CRAPPY JOB YOU OFFER MANDATES ONLY ONE 30-45 MINUTE INTERVIEW UNLESS IT IS FOR OVER $150,000 PER YEAR.

5. HAVE THE GUTS TO MAKE A HIRING DECISION DURING THE INTEVIEW.

6. STOP THE LYING ABOUT NEEDING TO TALK TO OTHER CANDIDATES--THERE ARE NO OTHER CANDIDATES TO INTERVIEW FOR THE CRAPPY JOB.

7.STOP LYING THAT 24-HOURS BEFORE THE JOB INTERVIEW, OR EVEN MORE SO MAGICALLY DURING THE JOB INTERVIEW, THE JOB REQUIREMENTS SUDDENLY HAVE CHANGED BECAUSE THE ECONOMY MADE A MAGICAL TRANSFORMATION JUST EFORE OR DURING THE INTERVIEW. THE ENORMITY OF THE U.S. ECONOMY MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY SUDDEN MACRO-ECONOMIC CHANGE. WHAT TRULY HAPPENED WAS THAT THE INTEVIEWER DID NOT KNOW THE JOB REQUIREMENTS. TO CONCEAL BEING AN IGNORAUMUS, THE ONLY EXCUSE THE INTERVIEWER COULD USE TO COVER INEPTITUDE WAS TO DECLARE THAT THE JOB’S REQUIREMENTS HAVE CHANGED. THE CHANGED JOB REQUIREMENTS BALONEY ARE A PRETEXT TO AVOID TREATING A JOB CANDIDATE HONESTLY AND RESPECTFULLY. MOREOVER, THE CHANGED REQUIREMENTS BALDERDASH GIVES THE INTERVIEWER DUNCE AN EXCUSE TO FLEE THE INTERVIEW HASTILY, AS IF HIS OR HER HAIR WERE ON FIRE.

8.MECIFULLY, ONCE AND FOR ALL STOP ALL THE BUSINESS DOUBLE TALK AND MEANINGLESS PHRASES ABOUT YOUR COMPANY’S GOALS AND THE NEED FOR QUALITY PEOPLE TO CARRY THE VISION OF YOUR COMPANY TO THE NEXT STEP. AS A JOB CANDIDATE, I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR MISSION AND YOUR VISION BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ROOTED IN FRAUD AND IN LIES. THE PAYCHECK IS THE ONLY GOAL AND THE ONLY VISION OF EVERY JOB CANDIDATE AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES. WHY IN THE HELL ELSE WOULD ANYONE GO TO WORK EVERY DAY TO DO YOUR COMPANY’S NONSENSE WERE IT NOT FOR THE PAY CHECK? THE PAYCHECK IS MY GOAL AND VISION--NOTHING ELSE. YOUR PROPAGANDA HAS BORED ME TO TEARS. I HAVE FAKED INTEREST IN YOUR PRATTLE. I HAVE STOMACHED THE TIME-WASTING, MORONIC MARATHON JOB INTERVIEW AND YOUR GIBBERISH ONLY BECAUSE I FELT THAT MY SUFFERING THE INTEVIEW IDIOCY WOULD BE REWARDED WITH YOUR OFFER OF THE DAMN JOB TO ME. WHY ELSE WOULD I HAVE PUT UP WITH SUCH UTTER ASSINITIES?

9.STOP THE DELAYS, AND HAVE THE COURTESY TO CONTACT A CANDIDATE IF YOU ARE TOO COWARDLY TO GIVE A DECISION AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW.

10.KEEP YOUR WORD AND BE HONEST IF YOU THE EMPLOYER SEEK EMPLOYEE INTEGRITY.

The whole interview process is a sham. The companies lie like crazy because of being cowards to hire and or being liars to admit there are no jobs available. All that is available is just time needed by the HR department to justify its budget and or to fill time by some useless manager who does not have the brains to order toiler paper when needed without having to consult 50-people.

560 lb? If she was so smart & qualified, how is it that she let herself balloon up to a 1/4 ton? Hiring a person that obese is irresponsible with respect to the best interests of the company & their other employees.

so, I had to read this for homework.

I just waisted 15 mins of my life.

thanks.

I worked full time to put myself through college. After 7 years and graduating with both a BA and a Master's degree I had put on over 70 lbs of weight. I am not as heavy as many at 200 lbs for my height, but I know that some employers will turn me down because of my appearance. I was a high school athlete and weighed 125 lbs when I started college, and my grandfather who raised me died. I was left homeless. I had a 3.9 GPA and was able to get into college, but I had to struggle to buy food. I was lucky enough to get some scholarships and I kept a 3.5 GPA all through college. I ate cafeteria food that could be covered by student loans. All of you who want to judge without knowing the struggle other people go through should be grateful your life has been so easy. I am still searching for a full time job above minimum wage almost a year after graduating.

I was a really fat guy for a long time. Then I took control of my life. You can too. The comedian, Ron White, said "You can't fix stupid." But guess what, you can fix fat! I did. It's all about attitude.

I have just one question.

All the people coming on here how many are gainfully employed, and how many are searching?

If you are gainfully employed I hope your managers do not know you are waisting your time writing these in some cases pathetic comments.

As for overweight/obesity there is such a thing called the EEOC you can complain to about what you think the reasons you were not hired for in the first place.
Then there is the whole issue that if you want to sue then you had better make sure theat the company has Employment Practices Liability Insurance.
Both of these examples have the rules and terms that employers be they potential or current live by.

Your use of "their" is incorrect.

I read only half of the posts here and decided to write a comment.
I cannot believe I live in a world with so many insensitive, unloving people. No wonder our world is in the state that it is in. So many of you feel you have the right to express such cruel judgments just because you can. Can you even imagine how deeply these words can hurt someone for life? You condemn this person so harshly and then you justify what the punishment should be for this woman (why she should not have been hired). The judgments you so freely extend to her, will someday be the same judgment that comes upon you. You project upon her your own self-loathing that you feel within yourselves.
God help all of you who are so unwilling to offer kind, gentle words of encouragement and strength.
It is heartbreaking that we live in a society that is more willing of offer words of judgment, condemnation and punishment. A society of people with a belief system based upon exclusion rather than inclusion.
This world is judged and governed only by the “Rules Established by God”. One can live out their whole earthly life denying the truth of God and lack awareness of His power. But, fortunately we have a loving God that will bring all of us to a place where we acknowledge Him and His truth.

About 11 years ago I went to a interview and thought I did well. I was hired. Then a week later my boss had me look for some paperwork on his desk. I see a letter to the big boss stating he cannot work with unqualified people who apply because the pay is low. It seems that only three of us interviewed and the first two turned down the job. I was not his best choice and he needed someone right away. I copied that letter and kept it in my desk to motivate me and show him I was not a mistake. Five years and many co-workers later, I would be promoted by him and run my department. I am still in charge and he wants me to continue my education and take his position one day with his recommendation. I never told him about the letter. I just give 100 percent to my employer and good things happen. God wanted me here for a reason.

About 15 years ago, I was looking to switch jobs as my new boss was driving everyone in the dept absolutely bunkers. I normally can take a lot of bs but this time he took the cake.

So, I go on this job interview and we talk about my career path and what I would like to be doing in life. The guy who interviews me is the head of IT at this company. We go on for about 15 minutes reviwing my resume and what I know, and then he says to me that he really has little time because their current major project is overdue but they are having all sort of problems with the software. So, I tell him that I would like to help troubleshooting the issue. He agrees and he takes me to their development lab. I spent about 30 minutes and found the problem which had them perplexed for quite some time.

The guy is really impressed with me, he introduces me to all major players in the dept and tells them that I am the one who had fixed the problem. We then go back to the interview room and he asks me why I really want to switch jobs being an ace and all, and I tell him the truth. He then starts to go off about me being disloyal to my current employer and how I can just switch jobs because of someone I am not happy about and he literally ran me off their building.

That experience sure taught me a lesson to keep my mouth shut.

I was once interviewed for a management position at a software development company. I was 31 at the time with plenty of experience managing people, projects, etc. The interviewer asked me before we began the interviewing process to take two scholastic exams (math and software knowlege skills) which upon earning a certain score would lend me a chance to talk to her further. I passed both exams with flying colors which allowed a chance to talk to the interviewer. We spent about 20 minutes talking and then she told me that I just simply did not look the part of a manager they were looking for. She said they were looking to someone older, perhaps in his 40's and early 50's to commend attention of his employees. That left me in a state of shock because I never expected them to be so blunt. I received a rejection letter several days later.

I have the privilege to have worked for the past 25 years in different position in the public and private sector. As I have aged and gain some weight, I can not help think that employers are selecting younger, leaner, and less experienced because they feel those people are more manageable. I dont think that age, weight and most or least experience has to do with anything. Why would I think that? Because I have found more companies selecting people they like or connect with rather than any formal education or chacteristics including those like myself is a former Air Force Veteran and hispanic with a Bachelors in Business Administration with a major in Finance.
Government intervention for workplace regulations against discriminations in any of these matters for not being hired is a federal offence - but very few people go after those companies violating those laws because when appealled and taken to higher courts the expense would outweigh the final outcome, but there will be a day that more people filing suit and closing these companies down on violations of federal workers legal rights and regulations to protect a U.S. Labor Worker. All people have to have posted in the job sight their Legal Labor Laws and EEOC .... eventhough these laws are really only made available to the rich... That needs to change.

I've just read lot of these comments and can't find the one from the older male who mentioned he would like to write a book about all of his job searching experiences. You should go for it! I'm always reading about the mistakes of the job candidates but I've seen unbelievable behavior from the interviewers as well! Many are very unprofessional. During my last interview at a psychiatrist's office, the psychiatrist and his employee were actually arguing about the job duties and hours in front of me! An actual psychiatrist did this! Many more interesting stories too but I'm sure you get the point!
On another subject I would also like to add that it is really sad that staying home to raise kids is not only condidered a gap in employment but also not taken seriously as the multi-faceted, multi-tasking job that it is. I'm so tired of reading articles where one is encouraged strongly to list in detail all volunteer work. Yes, my volunteer work added up to maybe 20 hours a month and was "not at home" but my parenting work was way more important, and was sometimes 16 hour days. Managing a household and raising happy, healthy, exercised, well-rounded kids is not something I will ever make an exuse for. I have 17 photo albums, a huge memory book, boxes full of homemade crafts and have learned more than I ever have at a "real" job to discard it as a "gap". It was work. It was real. I have the kids to prove it. Wake up, employers! There are not many harder jobs in the world and I will NEVER make up an exuse for "staying home" (or at the park, playground, beach, or apple orchard). I should note that the jobs I have been applying for are in the field I was in before having a family and are in human services so there are no technical skills to catch up on which may be a problem for some job seekers.

Way back when...I went to an interview, and the person ahead of me was taking calls during their interview....calls that sounded as if they were coming from other potential jobs...great way to show how interested you are in 'that' particular position when devoting interview time to other businesses lol.

There could be a number of reasons that size of a person could be a very big issue

Sorry...no pun was intended.

It really is sad that people involve themselves in others businees! While I don't really think this is the best story for the article, everyone is so judgemental to this women. Who really cares if it is true or not. The point being made was she didn't get the job based on her appreace. You know it happens, you also know it shouldn't. People should hire others blindfolded, based on how qualified they are. And everyone that said such raw comments, would you like to say that to her face or do you hide behind you computer to feel better about yourself. Just so stupid this is where we are as people. Really, an employer's risk, won't come to work, might raise cost of insure? Right?! Get over yourself!

My husband and I have our own small business. I am obese, and if I were hiring people for my business....I would not hire myself either! Yes I, obese myself(nope..not bringing up my associated problems/demons, I know I have things to work on, thanks), would discriminate too, because I understand all too easy that, well....it is easy to not be as productive as a smaller...'lighter on their feet' person. I tire easily, I can't stand for long periods of time, my endurance is terrible...I would not hire myself based on knowing productivity would probably be an issue, plus of course more risks of downtime due to possible health complications and other issues causing work-related issues.

Besides the potential productivity loss in the office (or general labor, or any role), professional image is VERY important for any business that deals with any sort of public relations or business to business....quite frankly that is just how people are, to consider people of certain size, looks, age..to not be as pleasant to look at, and that does negatively affect how potential clients view the business. Harsh..but it is fact, and obese does not look professional unless you are a chef...in that case..being fat could mean you are a great cook!

Business hiring based on looks, while sad and hard on those who otherwise could be perfect for the job, is just being practical for the needs of the business, and the needs of the business always comes before the needs of the employees. Losing potential clients= No business=no need for employees anyways. In an economy where there are many potential workers to choose from..companies can be picky in order to get what best fits their business..in skills and looks.

It's not always looks though..there could a number of reasons a big person was overlooked in hiring, so don't just play the poor me discriminated because of looks card-

In my business....we'd always pick a thin person over a hefty person just for the fact that thin people are less likely to fall off ladders or through a client's roof, and are physically able to move much quicker and get into the tight spaces that is part of our business...a fat person simply can not fit into crawlspaces that we service, without getting stuck and needing rescued that is. So..we do hire with our business needs in mind, and I don't see what is wrong with that-it's common sense to not want to have to cut our employees out of wherever they got stuck, then use our insurance paying the damages!

Keep that in mind for any of you flat out outraged that a fat person is passed over for a skinny person...as they just simply may not suit the needs of the business in a number of ways. Medical chopper crews are required to maintain weight limits....just so they don't go over flight and fuel capacity; businesses with strict uniforms often have size limits too, as it could be very impractical and expensive to alter uniforms for the sake of one person. Safety gear needed for certain jobs simply may not come in a size to fit a large person, and so on. OSHA ratings alone is something to consider for equipment usage. There could be a number of reasons that size of a person could be a very big issue...and it may be simpler to just hire someone else, not personal..just business practical.

After having found a job after 11 months of looking I thought this article would offer some great tips/suggestions that I could use. Nope, just people being mean.

wow. I stumbled upon this by accident and decided to read it, I'm in tears of laughter at some of the comments. this is priceless.. keep it coming! I think my favorite is the one about "poor people dress like prostitutes because they don't know any better, because of poverty"

Unless you have been an employer and have had experience the demand of what the public expects from your business then you have no true experience. The public does judge a business from the looks of the staff, it unfortunate but true. An employer cannot pay the bills and keep business running if this factor happens.
We are all in control of habits we hold including over eating. Statiscally it is normally a sign of other lying issues in a persons life. It is a risk to health care and typically harder to manuver around a larger person. I know because I am an employer and I am also over weight.

Did you know that 75 persent of the people holding positions in Human Resourses have no training in that field.

"KATHY | Jan 23, 2011
...I was a single mom raising 8 biological children plus my nieces son who was born drug addicted...." 8?!?!!!! Holy cr#p! Who was desperate enough to bang your 560 lbs body more than once?

I have to say that it is a good thing that many of the people who have commented are reading up on good interview tactics, because you probably need it based on what has transpired on this discussion board. It is astonishing to see how the board ebbed into a rude and ignorant lashing about weight rather than a fruitful discussion about the content of the article.

Interesting postings! First off on the weight issue: my weight was 450lbs. I was able to do the job, unlike many I was built like a football player, very solid (I had been
'extremely morbidly obese" my entire adult life and simply "obese" since age 7). Fact is I could not perform like others. I was unhappy with myself and as my age increased the problems did as well. I really do not know what the answer is, but to some extent it should be tollerated! I also went on to have GB and now my weight is 150lbs. standing 5'11". I had my surgery ten years ago and things changed for me 100%. Now, on another note, for all of you judging overweight people, what about sick people in general? I had developed a major health problem (not related to weight loss surgery), which caused me to call out often, come in late and basically not be a "reliable" employee (which I agreed with), but I desprately wanted to continue working as it was the only "normal " thing left in my life...made me feel like I was still living! looking around me I found/saw a card I could play. I noticed there where other's who had similiar issues, the late arrivals, no shows etc. They would be the working MOMS! Everyone seemed to bend over backwards for them. They are a liability, much like someone overweight. So, I made up having a child or two. I did not come out and say I had children, but when one of my clients assumed I had a family I went with it. My boss caught wind and pulled me aside to tell me she was also a Mom and whatever I needed...well things would work out! So, fat, ugly, stupid, fit, smart, thin........life is not fair!!!!

agree with #117 Rich. total BS folks do you have no common sense? I have 3 BS, an MD and operate a rental business in addition in a college community IN CARBONDALE IL, no less.

I have NEVER MET ANYONE who even graduated from a legitimate U (and SIU is a fine school) with 8 kids, and whatever else she said, MUCH LESS one who wieghs 560.

Just another whacked out lefty pulling you guys ( and gals) chain.

However, I DO have some land in New Orleans to sell you if any of you are interested....LOL

wat r u an english teacher

Wow. You all sound like adults, but most of you have terrible spelling and grammar. I find this humorous. :D

wow u guys have no life watsoever

The worst interview mistake I ever saw was a candidate who chewed tobacco in the lobby and used the wastebasket next to the receptionist's desk as a spitoon.

emilys an ugly person

I suppose what intrigues me about this lengthy thread is that every one of the posters here is accepting the truth about "KATHY's" statement.
C'mon, people. Are you really buying the "8 kids plus my nephew, single mom, 2 degrees @ a 3.9 plus 560 lbs"?????
Somehow this aggregation just doesn't compute. I have a smiley feeling that "Kathy" set all of you up, and you willingly bought into it. Kind of like those Obama fright letters that the Tea Party likes to spread around.
Let's first contemplate the requirements of raising 9 children. Have any of you done this? Half of this? So now, let's take that ridiculously difficult scenario and add 560 lbs to it. Are you kidding? A normal healthy woman would be exhausted. And THEN???? Simultaneously Kathy takes her show on the road and goes to college??? Two Degrees?? 3.9 GPA???
You can swallow all this if you choose, but I ain't buying any bridges from this lady. I think she is living in la la land or just having a laugh at your collective expense

On the topic of INTERVIEW MISTAKES.

I used to work in education and human services, working with low-income populations. The two worst ones I saw, that decided me on the spot not to hire the candidate were

1) the woman who repeated over and over that she badly needed the job and her WHOLE church group was praying for her that she would get the job. They've got a prayer chain going, they're just praying and praying. (Unfortunately for her, God did not weigh in on the process and we went with another, less-prayed-for candidate.)

2) The man who answered every question about how he would deal with our target populations in various circumstances by stating upfront that the first thing he would do would be to essentially "dumb down" any communications, explanations, etc., because "those people" are all ignorant, uneducated, and unable to deal with complexity.

Keeping your contempt for others (and your sense of being favored by the Deity) under wraps at LEAST until your hired, is an excellent interview strategy.

I so love FukUall, his view of life is highly entertaining, i can't help but giggle at this poor person's sad lashing out

hey for all of you guys who are being mean stop it just stop it is not right what if it were you in this situation you would want support and hey i am 16 and 230 pound and i have lost soooooo mush i look great. BE NICE

Years ago, my nephew (kind of a clean freak) had a job interview but he didn't have any clean socks except for a pair of mickey mouse socks. Heaven forbid that he put on a pair of dirty socks, so he wore the mickry mouse socks.. The interviewer thought (in part) that if he had the confidence to wear them he was worth hiring. Twenty years later he still works for them and also lives in Orlando, Florida.

After reading all these comments I find it funny how some people can joke about a person weight, to me it isn't funny; no one can pass judgement unless you have walked in thier shoes. You all are dumb, stupid, and should be a shame.

I interviewed for an entry-level job in 2007, and I accidentally left a thumb drive with my portfolio on it in the conference room where they interviewed me. I left the interview, got in my car, and was not a mile way when I realized I had forgotten the thumb drive. I went back and went into the conference room to look for my thumb drive...and interrupted a meeting of about 10 people. Not good. They all stared at me in silence as I stooped underneath someone's chair to pick up my thumb drive.

I thought I had blown it, but I was lucky: I got the job, and I still work there.

I am sitting here after reading this in AWE of the ingorance and rudeness of some people. I think a woman raising 9 children with that degree and education is to be commended, no matter what her wait, and clearly is NOT lazy. Telling the original commentor to lose weight, is SO disgusting it almost doesn't deserve mentioning.

Since we have no idea why some people are overweight it is not our job to judge. What if the person was in fact pregrnant, or had a major disease or disorder that caused the obesity. then again I am judging you as a major asshole, but know nothing about.

At my company ther are MANY people overweight and the company offers many incentives to lead a healthier life. Including, weight watchers onsite, lower health insurance rates for those that are in better shape. free or reduced gym membership and many other incentives. I think this is such a great idea. Then you are hiriing talent and skills, NOT the beautiful people just for their looks. It certainly makes for a company full of highly skilled people, versus beautiful unqualified ones.

I am SO sick of people thinking it is okay to be rude to, make fun of, bully or otherwise discriminate against fat people. Your outside does not reflect your inside and there are many many overweight people that are still active and healthy. A family member of mine died in a tragic car accident last year, and he was a very large man. You know, he did not have ONE health problem, he swam laps several times a week, adn took good care of himself, he had a good heart, and no disease at all.

So there you go, you bigots al there should SHUT UP and start treating all people with dignity and respect, not just the ones you deam worthy, it is stupid ignorant and makes you look like fools! Too bad you none of you will read this and think about what asses you are, you will just name call me, but that's okay I have plenty of love in my life, your is NOT needed.

and how did her kids survive childbirth they must be little tarzans woooooo!

Anyone else think Kathryns a liar? how did she have 8 kids and be 560 lbs. whod have sex with that ? yukkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and no way she lost the weight cuz of surgery and even so she was a fat pig to be there in the firsst place!!!!!

Having been responsible to interview staff for my department, I can add a few to the list:
-chewing gum and then refusing to spit it out when asked
-calling the agency founder two days after the infterview to complain that she did not hear back from me, when I explained I would be making a decision at the end of the month (three weeks from the interview date)
-telling me she would not work with parents (our agency provides therapeutic services for children and their parents)
-demanding relocation money during the first (and only) interview...not something most non-profit agencies are able to provide
-being dishonest about criminal histories

and my personal favorite:
-incorrectly spelling their own first name on their resume!!!!!
