DOH!!! 10 Of The WORST JOB INTERVIEWEES!

February 27th 2010 00:05
job interview under the magnifying glass
As I steady myself for a round of gruelling job interviews, I began to wonder about what the worst possible things you could do in a job interview would be.
As it turns out, a survey in the US by Careerbuilder.com of 3000 hiring managers managed to compile a list of the top 10, and here they are.

1. Candidate answered cell phone and asked the interviewer to leave her own office because it was a “private” conversation.

2. Candidate told the interviewer he wouldn’t be able to stay with the job long because he thought he might get an inheritance if his uncle died – and his uncle wasn’t “looking too good”.

3. Candidate asked the interviewer for a ride home after the interview.

4. Candidate smelled his armpits on the way to the interview room.

5. Candidate said she could not provide a writing sample because all of her writing had been for the CIA and it was “classified”.

6. Candidate told the interviewer he was fired for beating up his last boss.

7. When applicant was offered food before the interview, he declined saying he didn’t want to line his stomach with grease before going out drinking.

8. A candidate for an accounting position said she was a “people person” not a “numbers person”.

9. Candidate flushed the toilet while talking to interviewer during phone interview.

10. Candidate took out a hair brush and brushed her hair.

A VALENTINE For OSAMA BIN LADEN!

February 9th 2010 23:27
Osama Bin Laden
Peter comes home from first grade and tells his father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," he asks, "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?"

Peter's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"

LOOSE STUFF 2 MAKE U LAUGH!

July 25th 2009 12:10
Charlie Sheen was once asked whether he'd like to have his father's job playing the American president on "The West Wing".
"I could never be the president," Sheen replied. "Think about it. I've abused cocaine, I've been arrested, I'm not a very smart guy. It's a big joke to think people would want someone like me just because his dad was president."

QUICK TO SWOOP

June 26th 2009 11:19
Michael Jackson
With the announcement of Michael Jackson's death, I thought everyone was quick with the new jokes, (in fact some sites have gone down with the amount of traffic online today) but not as quick it turns out, as people are to begin selling off their Michael Jackson memorabilia on Ebay.

In fact I counted up to 15 pages newly listed from today before I stopped - the list is seemingly endless. (What colour will his ghost be by the way???)

The Ultimate PMS WARNING System

January 29th 2009 08:51
PMS woman with gun
Hey guys, ever wanted a simpler and easier way to track when you beloved girlfriend or wife is about to have the Cranky bus in town? Yes, I'm talking about a PMS Early warning System - not to be confused with the Tsunami Early Warning System although some of the symptoms can be commonly held by both.

Well now you can with the help of PMSBuddy which, with the motto of "saving relationships one month at a time," tracks those errant cycles and giving men a heads up when to maybe tread a little more lightly. Found at www.PMSBuddy.com, the service has signed up many thousands of men, as well as women who are also signing up to send their partners early alerts.

SOCK and AWE - Fancy a Go???

December 16th 2008 21:06
George W. Bush U.S. President
Following in the footsteps of the Iraqi journalist who recently hurled his shoe at George W. Bush, the online game Sock and Awe, has been drawing high numbers of people willing to throw their shoes and socks at the outgoing U.S. president's image.

The soles of shoes are considered to be the ultimate insult in Arab culture - at the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad in April 2003, many people used the soles of their shoes to beat it.
