. "At the end of the interview, the candidate expressed her interest in 
getting the position, but only if her boyfriend liked the company and 
the hiring manager. She then said, 'He's waiting outside. Can I bring 
him in to say hello?'"

. "After answering the first few questions, the man picked up his cell 
phone to call his parents and let them know the interview was going well."

. "When asked by the hiring manager why she was leaving her current job, 
the applicant said, 'My manager is a jerk. All managers are jerks.'"

. "The candidate entered the lobby and identified herself to the 
receptionist. She then pulled two pairs of shoes from her bag and asked, 
'Which pair do you think I should wear with this suit?'"

. "When asked why he wanted to work for the company, the applicant 
responded, 'That's a good question. I really haven't given it much 
thought.'"

. "When told she would meet with another interviewer, the young woman 
said, 'Wait just a minute.' She then proceeded to reapply her makeup and 
hairspray, all in the first interviewer's office."

. "He refered to his former boss by name, calling him a 'big jerk' and 
'a pain in the neck.' It turned out that that the interviewer had the 
same last name and that they were related."

. "After being complimented on his choice of college and the grade point 
average he achieved, the candidate replied, 'I'm glad that got your 
attention. I didn't really go there.'"

. "The company sent an employee to meet a prospective candidate at the 
airport. Getting off the plane, he said it was far too cold to live in 
this city and he took the next flight home."
