Job InterviewsIf it's not the "where do you see yourself in five years time" question, it's the trick questions they throw at you to make them feel superior. Tell us about your worst job interview and the most unsuited candidates you've seen. BTW: Please don't use the question board to send messages to each other. It makes the whole thing unreadable for everyone else.

I used to work as a recruitment consultantThe agency I worked for used to supply temporary workers to factories, warehouses etc, which meant that a lot of the people who worked for us weren't always "legally" entitled to be in the country, and generally they were the only people who would work for such low wages (exploitative I know, but our wages were just as piss poor). One bloke I used to work with was an absolute cunt to people when interviewing them, especially as for most, English was not their first language, and they all seemed to have been told by whatever friend had sent them "If you don't understand a question, smile and answer yes".
Some choice questions from those days, all of which I heard people answering YES too.
Q: If I was to send you on a cleaning assignment would you be happy to polish my knob
Q: I see you worked as an engineer in Kenya, did you ever grease the ringpiece?
Q: So basically Mrs . . . you are game for any type of work? *YES* So you're willing to go on the game for me? *YES*
