I thought it would be a good day to introduce some job search humor. A recent article on CNN (via CareerBuilder) provided a list of outrageous things that candidates have said to employers. The article, 43 Weird Things Said In Job Interviews, provides some insight into what not to say, while giving us all a good laugh.
Among my favorites…
“I’ve never heard such a stupid question.”
“If this doesn’t work out can I call you to go out sometime?”
“If I get an offer, how long do I have before I have to take the drug test?”
“What is two weeks’ notice? I’ve never quit a job before, I’ve always been fired.”
“May I have a cup of coffee? I think I may still be a little drunk from last night.”
And finally, my personal favorite…
“You should probably know I mud wrestle on the weekends.”
Priceless!! Check out 43 Weird Things Said In Job Interviews
