We all spend our interviews thinking about what not to do. Don't bite your nails. Don't fidget. Don't interrupt. But don't worry if you've committed these acts once or twice, especially with the results collected from the personnel executives from the top 300 American corporations. Here are some of the best stories of their most unusual job applicants.
1. "She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time."
2. "The balding candidate abruptly excused himself. He returned a couple minutes later wearing a hairpiece."
3. "He interrupted the interview to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview questions."
4. "A telephone call came in for the job applicant. It was his wife. His side of the conversation went like this: "Which company? When do I start? What's the salary?" I said, "I assume you're not interested in conducting the interview any further." He promptly responded, "I am as long as you'll pay me more." I didn't hire him, but later found out there was no other job offer. It was a scam to get a higher offer."
5. "Pointing to a black case he carried into my office, he said that if he was not hired, the bomb would go off. Disbelieving, I began to state why he would never be hired and that I was going to call the police. He then reached down to the case, flipped a switch, and ran. No one was injured, but I did have to get a new desk."
