Sweet Interview Yesterday

[Adam]

Not sure I can do it justice in a post. It was amazing!

 

I along with one of the supervisors who works for me are interviewing a guy for a full-time position yesterday.

 

One of the questions we ask all applicants has to do with procrastination.

 

Me: "Everyone procrastinates at times. Please give me an example of something you procrastinate on."

Him (sitting up straight, shirt and tie, fingers crossed): "Easy - calling a bitch back after I hit it."

 

 

 

[Lifetime]

LOL! 

 

Followed by: "know what I'm sayin'" 

[Stradling]

That is brilliant.  So, when does he start? 

[Stradling]

That guy might be my favorite human. 

[Adam]

I had to think about hit and runs and sac bunts to keep from laughing.

[HaloCory22]

That is freaking brilliant. 

[Blarg]

Why is Brandon looking to change jobs?

[nate]

Hahaha!

[NJHalo]

So I guess the rumor is true. Jeter is not coming back.

[Brandon]

Why is Brandon looking to change jobs?

haha.

times are tough dude.

[Caralho]

I commend you Adam, I would have started laughing for sure.

[Brandon]

This actually makes me curious, did he have a good interview? were the rest of his answers vanilla and standard? is he a front runner or even leading canidate? do you recommend this approach to others?

[DowningRules]

That's awesome.  Question:  Would you have hired him on the spot if he said he procrastinates by posting sick line-up threads on angelswin.com?

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

You should have laughed.  That guy would have appreciated it and rewarded you later when he's your boss. 

[Adam]

Not in the running. I asked him a question earlier. Something like "If a client called and asked you a question you didn't know the answer to, how would you handle that situation?" He said: "Oh man...I'd just ask you or this dude (pointing to my employee)"

[Adam]

His resume was pretty tyte too.

 

He had a job from 2003-2006 in Laguna Niguel and another from 2002-2007 in Ventura. WTF?

[nate]

Lol, sounds legit.

[Brandon]

At least your company interviews minority candidates.

Wow, when I worked at Chuck E. Cheese, all they asked was "when can you start".

 

Things have certainly changed.

I lol'd

[Angel Dog and Beer]

You should have thrown him off with a question like, "If you had to choose between sealing a lucrative deal that would improve your chances at a bonus and possibly a promotion OR tapping the ass of our hot secretary in the supplies room, what would you choose?"

 

You know, just to see his reaction.

[Adam]

He was not of European descent. 

[austin724]

Right now I procrastinate on watching Angel games.  

[Ray McKigney]

This sounds like a guy I worked with in the mortgage biz about 10 years ago. I actually went to high school with him too, so now he's my "friend" on facebook.  White guy who thinks he's black. Everything he posts is talking about banging black girls. His profile pic is him with his shirt off taken in a mirror showing off his abs. The phone in his hand looks like a flip phone from 2003. Funny stuff.

I do a lot of employment interviews. The answers some people give are amazing. For most positions we ask that the applicant describe a problem and how he/she went about resolving it. One guy, completely serious, said "I got a flat tire once, and I pulled a can of Fix-A-Flat out of the trunk and fixed it." I'm sure that will be a very valuable skill. Somewhere else. We generally prefer that our nurses be proficient at things a bit more involved - and relevant to the job - than tire repair. Not exactly the kind of management skills we were hoping to reveal.
