Amusing Interview Stories

I spotted an article on Monster recently about some entertaining interviewing and hiring stories including the following:


I was hiring for a collector position and received a resume with the following as the candidate's Goals and Objectives:

"I want to be successful as everyone does, but I want to kick it up a knotch (his misspell) and be VERY successful and become #1 in everything when it comes to professional, family, and personal way of life."

You want to be VERY successful? Why didn't you tell me before? What a novel goal in life. Does Emeril know you are using his phrase? Thanks for your time -- next!


I know my coworkers have a number of stories like this and they are the highlights of our days.
