Think I heard the worst answer to a job interview question this morning

Dude gets a question wrong and you assume he’s black?

Pretty racist

But the dude has been with the company for 10 years. We don’t hire black guys.

Good ol' boy network in action. Keeping the black man down any way, any how

My wife had a girl tell her," I'm coming for your job" in an interview, and totally stone faced. Everyone laughed.

We have a winner. She obviously didn't want that job and was just sabotaging the whole process.
 
I ask a candidate why they wanted the job they were interviewing for and they answered "I want the benefits".

It was an honest answer but not a winning one.

My favorite comment after the interview is over is when the applicant asks "when can I start". Now that I like it because it's basically not leaving the room without asking for the sale. Some wouldn't but I like the initiative.

When I was in my teens and interviewing at a Harmony Records (remember those?) I was talking about my responsibilities at my previous record store job and answered with “…and shit like that.”

Interview guy immediately wrapped up. After an uncomfortable pause I say “Sorry about that. Probably not gonna get the job, huh?” And he says “Probably not.” Lol

haha

fuck that guy! They are finished and you’re thriving.
 
Worst answers I ever heard at one was as a dining hall student manager in college and interviewing fresh off the boat Asian students.

At least I think. I couldn't understand half of them.

Then we hired them anyway, and after they got a SSN in three weeks we never heard from them again and wondered why turnover was so high.

To be fair all record stores got crushed just like the film development stores and video stores. Sometimes you’re just on the wrong end of the tech swing.

I like throwing candidates curve ball questions. I want to see how well they can think on their feet, what level of creativity they have ect.

One question I often use: What would your walk-up song be?

It just all seems so fake “Tell me about your greatest weakness”

Fuck that. It’s just going to be some bullshit answer. Ask them what you really want to know.

I went to an interview I really didn't want as I already landed the job of my choice but went anyway as a courtesy. I was led to a room with 6 fuckin people who all looked like they had a 2X4 up their collective asses. After the customary pleasantries of the introductions and small talk, they started the interview with this very same statement. My reply was baked goods, thinking that it would be an ice breaker. No reaction from either of them so I said my biggest weakness was not having patience when being asked stupid questions.

Needless to say the interview was promptly over.
