I was ask at interview for a student post 'Do yoy mind be told off by women?'

Should've said, "actually, it turns me on."

The colour of the 'Sun' is possibly an in-joke. Sun (the company) provides servers for IT - most IT equipment tends to be in various shades of grey.

Really interested to hear that some people think that "perfectionism" is a strength and therefore a desireable trait. (Cougar)

Seeking perfection in everything you do could mean that you are unable to multi-task and juggle a number of projects at once.

It could also mean that you disregard peoples feelings, rub people up the wrong way and are unwilling to listen to the ideas of others in your search for your version of perfection.

Being a perfectionist, could also mean that you are unwilling to admit defeat or that you have made a mistake.

Also, try and name even one product or service in any industry that is "Perfect."

Life (and business) is never perfect. Often a compromise has to be reached. Surely, a strength would be to realise this and understand how to achieve success rather than perfection. Both concepts can often be poles apart.

As part of an interview I was asked to take part in the company 'panto' and play the part of the pantomime chicken. I was then asked to perform for the interviewer........

A rather bizarre and also interesting job, but not for me in the end ๐Ÿ˜†

For a writing job: A married vicar has just run off with the female organist of his parish church, how would you get his wife's side of the story?

For a sales job: You urgently need to get to a job interview and a bus comes along, and there's a frail, old lady ahead of you, but the bus driver will only allow one person on the bus. The bus is the only way you can get to the interview. What would you do?

This isn't an interview question, in fact not even a proper interview when i think about it but..
Advert in the job centre saying such and such a pub was looking for bar staff - head, f/t and p/t bar staff. As I was looking for work, I got the details and off I went. Turned up at the appointed time, walked into the (pretty rough) pub. Only two people there, facing each other at the far end of the bar, so I walked up to them and spoke the one behind the bar, asking if the manager was in. Told no, not in, why who's asking?
Here about the job I reply
What job?
Barman I reply
I'm the barman he says, and then the other guy, who i'd taken to be a customer chimes in with
And I'm the head barman, if we were looking fora new barman, I'd know about it
Really? <<blinding flash of inspiration, I'm in the wrong ****n pub>>
Well the advert was for head and full time people, and seriously I don't want involved, but you need to have a word with your boss. bye.
