Job Interview Fun
Just in case you thought you did poorly in a job interview, read these anecdotes from executives who actually encountered these situations during an interview:
"... brought her large dog to the interview."
"Said he wasn't interested because the position paid too much."
"Pointing to a black case he carried into my office, he said that if he was not hired, the bomb would go off. Disbelieving, I began to state why he would never be hired and that I was going to call the police. He then reached down to the case, flipped a switch and ran. No one was injured, but I did need to get a new desk."
"...corrected my grammar during the interview."
