We always talk about the negatives around here. (Things such as guys acting like tools in interviews or people like Jefferey Chang)
So I want to know, what are some things that have really stood out when you interviewed someone. Was it a story, a joke, an inspirational thing, an explanation of something, their intelligence, experiences...anything.
Lets see what things have left a lasting impression on people.
Also, you could also say something really good that you said that had the interviewer really impressed

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I just wanted to tell you personally that we're extending you an offer. Here is my card. Feel free to call me if you have any trouble with HR, I know how difficult they can be."

Will, I was calling bIastoise
Will, I was calling bIastoise a troll, and no, I'm not a troll, I just prefer to amuse others while remaining anonymous.
MPG: That's awesome man
My best interview experience was for a shitty $9/hr job ($1.50 bump from what I was making, so big deal for me at the time when I was living paycheck-to-paycheck plus some credit):
"Who the hell are you? Oh, you wanted the job? Okay, let's get you to fill out these forms and then [name] will show you what you're doing."
-my boss at that job was awesome, mid-60s, smoked 4 packs of cigs and drank ~4-5 pots of coffee/day, also the one that gave me the job

Best thing an interviewee
Best thing an interviewee said: "I just want a job. I just finished school and don't know what I want. Like, a place where I can work for a couple of years while I figure my life out." Honest, direct, and it worked. He turned out to be a good worker too: if the kid stays around, he'll get promoted.
Best experience for me: landing my first internship. Only months before, I had technically been a college dropout working in a bar, and now I was walking throught the front door of a HUGE office building in NYC.......at Grand Central Station - AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RECESSION. I felt like a million bucks.

My first job in Sales &
My first job in Sales & Trading. I do an interview with a trader and the Fixed Income Broker who i would eventually be working for etc etc. Then they bring in the head of the Fixed income desk.
The interview lasts about 1 min and first thing he says is, "This job is no fucking joke, its hard as shit. Just do what you are told and after 2 years if you have worked hard you may succeed. 75% of people who make it past 2 years stay in the business but there are always some who still drop out after 2 years If ___ name likes you then I like you"
Then he shook my hand and left the room.
