15 Bizarre Things That Candidates Have Done In Job Interviews

Now that is one heck of a list though half of it might be fiction but who cares!! started my weekend in style!

"When asked why he wanted to work for the company, the applicant responded, 'That's a good question. I really haven't given it much thought.'"

"When asked what the candidate was currently earning, she replied, 'I really don't see how that is any of your business.'"

"When asked how the candidate would improve sales if hired for the position, he replied, 'I'll have to think about that and get back to you.' He then stood up, walked out and never came back.

All of above are just gold.....
