While there’s a lot of stress that may come with a job interview, that’s still no excuse for the way some people act when they are face-to-face with the person they want to hire them for a gig. There are definitely some people who just don’t know how to act when trying to land a job, and some hiring managers are talking.
A recent Reddit thread asked hiring managers “what was your most 'what is wrong with this person' moment you've had during an interview?,” and they were more than happy to share.
They include:
- “He was naked during the interview so we declined. When we brought up his video feed, he was laying in bed nude."
- "Hiring for a senior dev position. Had a telephone interview and she seemed confident and competent, so I flew her down for an on-site interview. She wanted a corporate limo to pick her up and nothing else would do.”
- "She cried three times during the interview about how much she hated her current job. My coworker had to get up and grab a box of tissues for her. When she finally calmed down, she informed us that she'd need a special desk chair due to an injury she sustained at her current job."
- “A man told us all about his mom’s Alzheimer’s, talked crap about our company, and got upset when we didn’t offer him the position on the spot. It was a wild ride."
- "To start the interview, I asked him to tell us a little bit about himself. Thirty-five minutes later, he stopped talking."
- "She listed all of her ex-boyfriends who currently worked there and said she couldn’t wait to see the look on their faces when she showed up to work."
- “They answered literally every question, 'I don’t know, man' or 'Can’t think of anything right now.'"
- "While waiting in reception, the applicant wandered into the CFO's office. She was on the phone, so he stood in her doorway and stared at her while she was on the phone."
- "Had a candidate who came in and asked how hot my administrator was and asked if she was single or 'open to freaky Fridays.'”
