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.

Remembered Some More....Once had a guy in an interview who, when asked what his strengths were, replied "I have a good memory, I'm good at maths......and I have a good memory....."
Amazingly enough, he didn't get in....
My wife runs her own recruitment agency.....hang on, I know what you're thinking - that puts her somewhere in the same category as estate agents, car salesmen and cockroaches on the evolutionary scale, but honestly she is a very, very moral and ethical person and would never dream of exploiting anyone to make a fast buck.....more's the pity.....we could have been millionaires by now.....
Anyway, some of the stories SHE could tell...
A couple of weeks ago she had a potential candidate who listed under 'Membership Of Any Professional Body Or Organisation" the classics;
The AA
Burnley (or some such place) Model Railway Enthusiasts, and
The 147 Snooker Club
Twunt? YOU decide.......
