I work at an employment agency. One day, a candidate arrived and, before the interview, asked where the bathroom was. My colleague followed him and automatically said: “Come in, sit down, someone will come to help you soon!” @Oidoporahí

The other day I published my resume. The first call I received was from the company I’m leaving, with an offer to work for them. @genomcivil

A few days ago, I had a dream that I had to answer some questions in a job interview. I solved some tests, gave my answers to two men, and then the dream ended. Today I dreamed that they had revised my answers and invited me for a second interview. A responsible approach to anyone offering a job, I agree.@Syaver

I read several books on motivation and because of that I was very motivated to a job interview. In the “Salary” field, I put my expected salary at $10,000 a month. When the woman in the HR department asked me if I was serious about value, I vehemently said yes. She didn’t say anything, just quietly left and a few minutes later invited me into the manager’s office. He also asked me if I was serious. With the expression of a man used to getting what he wanted, I stated again firmly, implying that he didn’t have the option of saying no. It was then that I unexpectedly heard one: “Please, don’t come back here anymore”. @realcowboy

My friend was on her way to a job interview when she got stung by a wasp… Right in the face! She was very swollen, even so she decided that she couldn’t miss that opportunity and went, as if nothing had happened. One of her eyes was so swollen she could barely open it. Upon entering the company, she said that before being stung by the wasp she could see better, and that if they didn’t want to interview her like that, they could reschedule. She was hired right away. They said that even though she was in those conditions, she had gone to the interview, which showed that she was a responsible person, and that was exactly the type of employee they were looking for. @Oidoporahí

My resume spent two months on a job search site and got a lot of views. Just today I found out that I had entered my phone number wrong. @megabayt

In Germany, I went to a job interview at a company that was installed in a new building and, right outside the door, there was a bus stop. Everything went really well. After the interview, while waiting for the bus, for some reason I decided to throw out all the unnecessary things from my jacket pockets. I was still a little nervous and, along with the old papers, I threw my keys away. I had little choice but to put my hands in the trash to get them out. When I found them and turned around, I saw that half the company’s employees were looking at me through the building’s windows, including the head of human resources. I never heard from the company again. @Michael Scherb

I finished a job interview and at the end I heard the famous line: “Thanks, we’ll be in touch”. Knowing that 99% of the time that doesn’t happen, I said, “Why don’t you tell me they won’t hire me and that’s it, instead of tormenting me with the agonizing anticipation of your call?” There was a pause. Awkward silence. Answer: “Thank you, you will not be hired.”

NOTE: Who knows, maybe they would have called me. @VBerezovskyy

I know that there are methods to create stressful situations during a job interview to see the candidate’s reaction. For example, triggering the fire alarm, etc. Well, I went to a job interview, I was waiting for my turn and suddenly the panic starts: “FIRE! FIRE!”. Knowing that the main objective was to remain calm and show that I was able to organize the situation without panicking, I went out, calmed people down, told them everything would be fine and helped to evacuate the building. I left feeling happy, thinking that I had definitely passed the test.

Imagine my surprise: the fire was real. @Oidoporahí

I was looking for a job. I went to an interview with the manager of a company. We finished talking and then he asked me if I’d like to ask him a few questions about the company and the role. And everything was going great until, instead of asking “Do you have a dress code?” I asked “Do you have a safe word?” @Oidoporahí

Today I went to a job interview, everything went very well. You even put a “plus” on my resume… or a cross? @mrBinSuperman

I work in the design department. This month our manager resigned and we hired a new one last week. Well, we decided to welcome you with a joke.

The newbie went to work on Monday, and there we were, already seated, his brave team of 8 designers very focused on drawing with the mouse in Microsoft Paint. Before we had hidden all the tablets.

I have to give him credit, he acted with as much dignity as possible. He kept a straight face, introduced himself, greeted everyone, made changes for everyone, sat down at his desk, grabbed a mouse, opened Paint and started drawing too.

In short, a great guy who joined the team from day one. @Region89
