During a group interview it was specified in previous rounds that we were all going to have to start on the 1st of September. One candidate put his hand up and says "I'm on holidays then does that matter?" Four out of the 5 got jobs!

I'm looking for other jobs since my boss hasn't had a conversation about my career growth in a few years. One job required me to fax my resume and so I did, but I forgot to pick up the cover sheet & fax copy from the office fax machine... within the hour my boss wanted to chat about my career!

One time an applicant came in wearing only one shoe. She explained that the other shoe was stolen off her foot in the bus. Wow.

Drove 5 hours to interview for a "marketing" job. As the "2nd step in the process" was asked to "work on a water campaign" (i.e. stand around unpaid handing out bottles of water). I acquiesced but later blew it off. Interviewer called my parents to ask what happened & my father told her off for me.

Usually when people outsource their job interviewing to India, I refuse to interview with them. Being Indian American, myself born and raised, Indians in India are the most critical and biggest haters. They do not give a fair chance, and I'm at the top of my field! I've rocked interviews to no avail
