HUMOR Digest - 12 Sep 1998 to 13 Sep 1998

Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 04:27:03 -0400
From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: Interviews Gone Awry

Interviewer: "Do you think you can handle a variety of tasks ?"

  Applicant: "I should say so. I've had nine totally different
                    jobs in the past five months."

The stern faced Personnel Officer told an applicant that they needed an individual who is totally responsible.

"I sure qualify then." replied the applicant. "Everywhere I've worked, whenever something went wrong, I was responsible."

"I see under 'Personal Traits' you have 'Self-Starter' listed." said the Human Resources Officer. "Why is that important to you ?"

"It seems to me that if more employees were self-starters, then the bosses wouldn't have to be cranks." the almost selected candidate replied.

The Personnel Officer was concluding the interview with the applicant for an entry level position in the Social Security Administration: "Well, Mr. Samuels, everything seems to be in order. I think we can start you working here next week."

"Great !" the man replied. "I've always wanted to be a civil serpent."

"Miss Johnson. I see under 'Experience' you only have clerical type work listed." said the executive. "Why exactly do you feel you're qualified to manage a department store such as ours ?"

"Easy." the pert lil' blonde replied. "At least twice a week, my former boss would call me into his private office and give me the business."
