The New Job Task   
 I have to interview people tomorrow for three postions in the store. Two part time, and one full time position.

We can have fun with this, but if you have any serious interview questions I would be most grateful. :)

I've only ever sat in on interviews, I've never performed the interview on my own. Well... Other than being the interviewee that is.

So any input - greatly appreciated.

Grazzi!

6/22/2009 2:08:28 PM   From:  Ali   Ask them what their long term plans are.

To grow within the company would be a good answer. To save up enough money for implants and then never have to work again...not so good.
6/22/2009 5:27:41 PM   From:  MrsK   LMFAO@Eddo!
6/22/2009 10:08:57 PM   From:  DarkCrow   If you could take out a full page newspaper ad to describe yourself, but you could only use 3 words, what would they be?
6/22/2009 10:22:36 PM   From:  Ali   ^^^ GREAT idea for a post!
6/22/2009 10:25:13 PM   From:  ImWithStupid   Would, "Big Fukking Cock" get me the job?
6/22/2009 10:59:48 PM   From:  Ali   ^^^ I don't know about a retail job, but it would definitely get you my phone number.
6/23/2009 12:40:00 AM   From:  whogo   On a serious note, on an entry level position the resume means everything. Find someone who has worked at one place for at least 18 months. 
6/23/2009 6:25:46 AM   From:  BCAR    One I always use, "I have several resume's that look almost identical to yours. What can you bring the organization that they can't ?"
6/23/2009 6:26:25 AM   From:  BCAR   Then ask if they would be willing to kick back 10% of their take home to you.
6/23/2009 7:25:10 AM   From:  whogo   If they are female I always ask about their blow job skills. 
6/23/2009 10:22:02 AM   From:  ImWithStupid   I just hire the one who has the biggest knockers.
6/23/2009 11:36:43 AM   From:  Rani   And what answer to your question, BCAR has impressed you the most?
6/23/2009 12:18:24 PM   From:  BCAR   Two good replies I've had. #1. I don't see anything here I can't handle, and I also don't see anything I can't master in a short amount of time.

#2. I can work well with very little supervision. If I have question I will ask, other than that just point me in the direction you want to go.
6/23/2009 12:22:55 PM   From:  BCAR    People that start that, I work well with others, I'm an asset to the team, or use words like synergy, value added, motivated, diversity, or anything with the word "fair" in it get the boot.
6/23/2009 12:54:55 PM   From:  Ali   ^^^ I can see just cause for the others, but "motivated"? Why does that word turn you off?
6/23/2009 7:51:30 PM   From:  Hack   that is just too cliche Ali.

I once had an interviewer ask me to define 'integrity' and when I answered "say what you mean and mean what you say" he was unable to understand me so I got long winded on him... the interview lasted 2 hours, longest fricking 2 hours of my life. I got the job anyway, lol
6/23/2009 7:54:37 PM   From:  ImWithStupid   Motivated should be a given, not a personal attribute. If you have to say you are motivated, then you obviously feel that it's something you consciously have to put forth and isn't second nature.
6/24/2009 12:30:40 PM   From:  MrsK   Most of the applicants were decent folks... One gorl on the other hand was yelling accross the mall to her ride after asking how long the interview would be... I was astounded...
6/24/2009 12:33:19 PM   From:  Hack   hire her... she has a sense of urgency about her.
6/24/2009 12:36:54 PM   From:  MrsK   lol! NO WAY! She was pure... I won't use the term for what she is. Let's just say she isn't the right material for our customer base.

I mean, anyone who when asked about their previous employment talks about the time when they were dating this cute guy who later cheated on her, then his exgirlfriend was psycho and stalked her at work, would sit out front and yell nasty nnames at her, and finally she asked her manager to get a restraining order, and he said they couldn't refuse service so she quit...

No, really. I think there is something much better suited to her qualifications. I would hate to keep her from her true calling as a carny.
6/24/2009 12:38:43 PM   From:  MrsK   I guess she also expected a man would be interviewing her, because she came in wearin a blouse that I wouldn't wear in my own bedroom it was damned low cut. It revealed an EXTREMELY ugly tattoo.
6/24/2009 1:02:49 PM   From:  Hack   don't diss the carneys... but an ugly tattoo is unforgivable
6/24/2009 1:09:17 PM   From:  Chi   ghetto...
6/24/2009 1:23:59 PM   From:  MrsK   Ok, then I wouldn't want to keep her from a very promising career in the escort industry.
6/24/2009 1:24:58 PM   From:  MrsK   Ah! I knew there was something else about her I was forgetting. She wanted to make sure the schedule would not interfere with her clubbing schedule.
6/24/2009 2:06:35 PM   From:  Chi   Great priorities she has there.
6/24/2009 2:08:53 PM   From:  MrsK   YEP!
6/24/2009 2:09:17 PM   From:  MrsK   And this poor soul is raising a child...
6/24/2009 2:17:57 PM   From:  Chi   Poor kid. Her priorities should be getting a job, any decent job, and taking care of her kid. Not what drama she can get herself into, how many cute guys she can get or to live her life around her clubbing schedule.
6/24/2009 3:06:12 PM   From:  Ali   Aren't welfare recipients required to apply for a certain number of jobs per month?

She was probably just trying to meet her quota.
6/25/2009 5:31:45 AM   From:  BCAR   I find it disturbing that in this day and age people are being denied employment because of their looks.
6/25/2009 8:03:03 AM   From:  emkay64   "If you were a fruit what kind would you be?"

seriously at one interview though....the guy asked how many days were acceptable to miss in a year...I thought it was a great question.

...oh...

and don't take a sip of the boss's juice smoothee.....sheesh....talk about overeaction!! My hair never grew back in that spot.
6/25/2009 12:34:14 PM   From:  Hack   what spot is that exactly? and what were you doing to get the job?

**mildly interested**
6/25/2009 8:08:15 PM   From:  MrsK   LMAO@Hack!

You are absolutely right BCAR. I am going to forward you her resume. Everything on it is centered in the middle of the page, just like a poem.
6/25/2009 8:10:21 PM   From:  MrsK   You should give her a shot!
6/25/2009 9:05:28 PM   From:  emkay64   I'll never tell Hack...
