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 Little VALENTINE'S Day HUMOUR!!!

February 14th 2010 00:01
A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing “Love” stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.

Valentines herpes sign
His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, “I’m sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, ‘Guess who?’”

QUICK TO SWOOP

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???)

Hi all, well I've just returned from a whirlwind trip of Romania, Egypt, Greece and Turkey - all within 2 weeks I might add, and looking back over the Tourist's Prayer I am nodding my head in agreement.

For those who are unaware of this accurate little piece, here it is:

You have no trouble opening heavily taped parcels with your nails.

You also have trouble learning to play the guitar due to your strings snapping for the same reason.
