So I don't work at the hospital anymore since I moved across the country, but now I work for an employment agency. I go over a ton of applications among other things and sometimes silly things come up. Since people like CowgirlMechanic seemed to enjoy my last thread, hopefully you will like the new one.
So let's begin:
On an application today (at a friend's office):
How did you hear about *company I work for*?: Threw a friend

Interview tip #1: Don't use your resume as an umbrella when it rains
Interview tip #2: Jeans and a lime green tank top are not interview attire.
Interview tip #3: Asking for the receptionist's number while you are waiting for an interview isn't the best first impression.
Interview tip #4: Spell check your resume. For the love of sheep, spell check your resume.
Interview tip #5: Don't eat part of the styrofoam water cup while filling out your application and then leave it on the table with bite marks and nibbles taken out of it. That is just weird and frankly pretty gross.
Interview tip #6: Extreme and blatant racism and sexism will not get you a job (at least here). If I had it my way, I'd tell you to fark off but I have to be polite.
Interview tip #7: Constant, loud sighs when I give you some paperwork to do is not a good sign. If you are annoyed or think it is too much to ask to fill out an application, what can I expect from you on a job?
Interview tip #8: It says on your social security card to not laminate it. Please stop laminating them. That includes wrapping it in scotch tape. They are actually invalid when you do that.

Me: "Thanks for calling *my company*, this is FD, how can I help you?"
Person: "Can I talk to the guy?"
Me: "I'm sorry, who are you trying to reach?"
Person: "The guy. The guy there."
Me: "I apologize but we have a few men that work here, do you know their name?"
Person: "No. The guy. They give the jobs."
Alright, does anyone know what the WOTC survey is? It is a 3 minute (if that) tax credit survey. We have candidates take it. I don't know why. Anyway, it takes literally 3 minutes at the most. I had a candidate in there and I realized it had been about 7 minutes or so. I peeked in and she was on the page that says "survey complete." So I thought she had just finished. I came back up, took some calls etc. I look up and it has now been over 15 minutes and she still isn't back. I peek in the room again and she is still on the same page. I say "hi, are you all finished?" She says "what is this for?" I explained it is a tax credit survey we have our candidates take, the information is confidential, blah blah. She says oh and says I don't know what to write here.
The page she was on was just "survey complete." I explained that. And she says oh, well it asked what the survey was for and so I put I don't know.
What is weird is.... it doesn't ask that question. Also, there is no way she could have gotten to another survey. Weird.
