MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I just had to share this.
I interviewed a chap yesterday who's behaviour astonished me.
1. He entered the interview room pointing at some inane article in the Daily Mail.
2. He referred to one of his current colleagues as "black Terry." (I jest not).
3. When I asked if he was pressed for time, he said "it's just that I'm meeting the wife in Harvey's Bar in a bit."
This was for a technical position in an engineering design office.
I was bewildered.
An interview that Jeremy Beadle could have set up.
Did he get the job?
Maybe it [i]was[/i] a setup, by HR/management, to test you.
He's an engineer and you were expecting social skills?
😆

Oi! 😆 😳
on the spectrum ...most are
what was the daily mail article about
Did you confirm if Terry was actually black and it wasn't just a racial slur against white Terry who he doesnt get on with
Did you ascertain if his Mrs was fit

Did he reference White Terry at all during the interview?
Funnily enough there was no mention of white __________.
The DM article was about the passing of Peter Wyngarde who played TV's Jason King.
Perhaps he had a petit mal seizure and thought he was in the British Leyland canteen ca. 1977.

oddly the HR person at the place I was working last week mentioned she felt like some days it was a day from the 70s ...which confirms it there must be some "in" doing the rounds
is there an HR equivalent of STW HRTW perhaps
I cant go to the shops for 3 items without getting one wrong but I'm pretty sure that's Saboteur on the ZX
I’ve met his wife, you’d understand his eagerness to leave the interview too..
He entered the interview room pointing at some inane article in the Daily Mail.
I'd have ended it right there.
Lucky he wasn't a Millenial

Did he bring it with him, or was it already sitting on a table in the room?
One of my mates runs a design studio and was interviewing for a new designer.
A recent graduate brought in his portfolio and was talking him through it.
When he got to a particular piece of work he claimed to have produced, he was asked if he was sure it was him who'd done it.
Yes, came the reply
I'm pretty certain you didn't, says my mate...... because I did
The interview was wound up at that point 😆
My wife and her practice manager interviewed a woman for a healthcare assistants job. She turned up 45 minutes late because she'd been in town and Brewers Fayre were doing a deal on lunches so she decided to have lunch there and then pop along later for her interview.
He brought the DM with him.
Perusing some our product brochures whilst waiting in reception would have been more appropriate!
He may has well habeen thumbing through a vintage Razzle with a semi.
Maybe “Black terry” always wears a black suit / black clothes. The OP may well need to go on some unconscious bias training 😉
I had a guy come for interview and brought a pen and paper to write down every question we asked him, for reference, before he could answer the question.
And also banana to eat, which to be fair, he did.

It certainly is.
I interviewed prospective ICT apprentices last year. One lad responded to pretty much every question with "I like to take computers apart, and then put them back together again." Tell us about a time you faced a challenge? "Well... I took my computer apart... then put it back together again." Must've said it a dozen times.

Did they actually ever employ any engineers?
