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.

How You Do'in?
There are three things that probably annoy me the most in a day and they happen all day every day.
1) People who call and the conversation goes this way:
Me: "Good morning, thank you for calling *my company*, this is FD, how can I help you?"
Them: "uh... hello? uh... who is this? I had call. Someone call me."
Me: "Do you have a name so I know who to transfer you to?"
Them: "Uh..... uh... no, they just call me and I call back. What's this number? Who this?"
Me: "This is *my company*, did they leave you a voicemail so I know who to tranfer you to?" (I don't have a list of who people call)
Them: *** either they ask again who this is, mumble something, or hang up***
2) People who come in the office and then ask me if this is *my company* when there is not one, not two, but THREE signs outside my door that have the company name on them.
3) People who get told on the phone and in an email to bring their resume and IDs for the I9 and then don't bring either, after coming in late already, and then cop an attitude because they can't fill out the application.

When you get a call from a number you don't know, do you just call it right back? Why do people do that?

I wish so bad I could write what happened with the racism thing but I better not. It was bad though. Really bad. One of the most uncomfortable moments of my life.
From a resume today:
"sort all yahoo mail and segregate in mail room before do the deliver in each bid. And deliver all mail and packages in yahoo employee, pick up all outgoing mail in particular time on daily basis. And assist yahoo employee how to ship packages and mail and do the customer care."
Now everyone, do the customer care!
"any means necessary"
