I've interviewed about 60 people in the past two months:

1. Interview went really great, no question we were going to hire this guy. Interview is basically over and he closes the application he was presenting with and his desktop background is hardcore porn.

2. Girl reaches up to scratch her head, boob falls out of her shirt.

3. Guy talked nearly the entire time, I had to interrupt him just to get a couple questions in.

4. Person told me they don't really want the job, they're just interviewing for interviewing experience.

5. A long time ago and I was being interviewed for a job. The guy tells me the closest parking spot to the front door is reserved for the employee of the month, and the employee of the month gets to drive the convertible mercedes in that spot for the whole month. "Do you know what that means?" He asked me. "PUSSY!!! And everybody loves pusssssssssssssssy!!!"

Oh my god, I can’t express enough how stupid 4) is. I interviewed so many amazing people I wanted to hire on the spot, instead they tell me they consider this as an exercise. What a waste of my time as well.

At least they're honest.

No, they were not honest. The interview was for a job that they did not want. They knew that when they took the interview slot. They accepted the offer under false pretenses. They wasted the time of the interviewer and the company’s financial investment in that time slot. How is that not plainly viewed as theft by fraud? I mean, they literally confessed to this fact. If you pulled this crap with me, you would be put on the list of never-hires.

Between juggling a 20+ person team that spans the Globe, hiring for another 20 slots and a 2 yr old at home - I definitely don’t have time for exercises like that.
