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 (on the phone): "Thank you for calling *my company*, could you please hold?"
Person on the other end: "Yes. So I am looking for a job and let me tell you my life story while not taking a breath."
Me: "I'm sorry, could you please hold for a moment?"
Person: "My name is I don't listen to you I just talk, and I am looking for a job and here is my life story again, but in a slightly different tone."

There's a lawyer in town here that made it into the papers after her SIXTH time getting busted for DUI.
Heh, when you google search her name now, the first autocomplete is "[her name] omaha" and the second is "[her name] dui".

I am always pretty floored at just how many have one. Also not accounting for the people who don't admit to charges on their paperwork (we find those ones out later usually).
