Hints for the job interview -- NOT!

1. "What does your company do?"

2. "Are you going to do a background check?"

3. "When will I be eligible for a raise?"

4. "Do you have any other jobs available?

5. "How soon can I transfer to another position?"

6. "Can you tell me about bus lines to your facility?"

7. "Do you have smoking breaks?

8. "Is [my medical condition] covered under your insurance?"

9. "Do you do a drug test?"

10. "If you hire me, can I wait until [more than three weeks from now] to start the job?"

One of my favorites from interviews I have been in:

Question: "Describe a problem you have had in your teaching and how you solved it."

Answer: "My biggest problem is that all the female students are hot for me."

Question: You must invite a scientist, writer and celebrity to dinner, (living or dead.) Who would you invite and why?

Answer: I don't know any scientists.

Here is a couple I have heard...

Q
Tell me about the most stressful thing you have ever had to do at work and how you overcame it.
A
I just drank enough to kill the stress

Q
What is your dream job
A (I really said this at my Morgan Stanley interview)
Running a charter boat in the Bahamas. What you thought I would say something about I.T.?

Q
Why should we hire you?
A
What has this whole interview been about?


Ones I have asked to potential hires.

Q
How do you resolve interpersonal differences?
A
With my fists...

Q
Where do you see yourself in five years
A
Retired

and so on...

I HATE interviews.

Here's an idiot question I got a few weeks ago at an interview:

"On the Merry Go Round of Life, what is the song playing in the background?"

Morons....
