Bosses Are Sharing Their “What The Hell Is Wrong With This Person?” Moment During Job Interviews, And It’s Actually Unbelievable
14.
“I set up an interview for an acquaintance’s nephew with a company looking to hire 30 college students for summer work. The nephew’s major and the line of work this company performed seemed to mesh perfectly, and I knew the hiring manager personally, so it seemed like a great fit.”
“A couple weeks later the acquaintance emails asking about the job. So I hit up my hiring manager friend and the conversation went something like this.
Me – Hey how’d the round of hiring go?
HR – Great, needed to fill 30 spaces and only had to do 31 interviews to fill them.
Me – Oh cool, so was Paul X one of them?
HR – Oh him, yeah well… uhh.. he was naked during the interview so we declined.
Me – What?!?! Are you serious? I find it hard to believe he would show up to an interview nude.
HR – Well it was a skype interview, and when we brought up his video feed he was laying in bed nude.
Me – Oh, well maybe he thought you couldn’t see him. Maybe he thought it was just an audio meeting.
HR – We told him we could see him and he said “sorry” then covered up with a sheet. We asked if he wanted to reschedule and he said no he was good. So yeah we decided to pass.
Sorry Paul.”
