Think your interview went badly? It could have been much worse. Provided by real Human Resouces managers, here are some of the world's worst job applicants to ever have graced an interviewer's office:
- Job applicant answers mobile phone and asks the interviewer whether she minds leaving her own office because it's a "private" conversation.
- Candidate tells interviewer he won't be able to stay with the job long because he is expecting an inheritance if his uncle dies -- and his uncle isn't "looking too good."
- Candidate asks the interviewer for a lift home after the interview.
- Candidate smells his armpits on the way to the interview room.
- Candidate admits he was fired for physically assaulting his last boss.
- Applicant is offered food before the interview and declines, saying he would rather go out drinking on an empty stomach.
- A candidate for an accounting position says she is a "people person" not a "numbers person."
- Candidate flushing the toilet while talking to interviewer during a phone interview.
- Candidate taking out a hair brush and brushing her hair.
- Applicant bounces up and down on the office carpet and tells interviewer she must be highly thought of by the company to get such a thick carpet.
- If hired, enthusiastic applicant says he will demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.
- Candidate shows up with price tag still on the sleeve of his suit.
- Candidate says he doesn't like windows. When asked what operating system he prefers, he replies," I prefer to work in the dark"
