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.

I suppose one could interpret that as how long you'd like to work there? I guess? Maybe? If you ate a lot of paint chips as a kid?

Just keep dreaming about your last day in that job, when you have another job lined up. On that day, you can do that to all the callers.

I get people calling at least once a day that can't find our building. They then come in late and go on and on about how there is no numbers on the building or around it.

There are two big signs out front and both have the building number on it Facepalm

I get nervous about giving a job to someone who can't even find a building with numbers on it. Oh and sometimes they are walking. They walk right by the sign.
