43 Things You Shouldn't Say in a Job Interview

Alan Mater · 08-11-2009, 02:47 PM

While browsing MSN news, a headline caught my attention. Knowing that there are many without jobs and looking for work, and after going through the whole interview process myself recently, I had to read this article.

The title is, You Said What?!

This is downright hilarious, and I honestly can't believe half of these answers. This is sure to get you laughing...

Nice one Alan,

I used to interview candidates myself, I just wish I had kept a log of some of the crazy things some people come out with due mainly to nerves. If only they realized that interviewers get nervous too!!

This one from your list conjours up a lovely picture.

"I went into the lobby to pick up a candidate. As he stood up, his trousers fell to the floor! [He said] 'Oh, my gosh -- they told me I needed a suit for the interview. I've got no money -- so I borrowed this thing. It's too big!'" - Beth Ross, executive and career coach

Thanks for sharing.

Graham

Hi Graham,

Do you remember any crazy responses that you've gotten when you interviewed people?
