Hiring Humorist T-Shirts

Impressive qualifications, but seeing as how I'm trying to fill the position I just fired you from...

"Sorry - we require at least three fake references."

Lateral Recruits

'The candidate must be decisive and independently minded.' - 'Would I describe myself as 'decisive and independently minded'?' - 'Would you describe me as 'decisive and independently minded'?'

'I´m sorry, but I cannot show you the job description yet. We don´t want to lose you, even before you sign the contract.'

'I forgot to ask her employment history -- I got bogged won in 'distinguishing personal characteristics.''

"This is probably not the time to admit I only joined the force because I figured we'd just be chasing cat burglars."

'Your decade of experience is, unfortunately, from the wrong decade.'

"My biggest weakness? I'm a perfectionist."

'Your salary will help you learn the lesson that life is not fair.'

"You work well without supervision? Fat chance of that happening in here!"

'When training my son, keep him totally ignorant. I'm grooming him to be VP in-charge-of -denials.'

"It raises trust issues, Mr. Kranse, when your very first question is 'what's the catch?'."

'We're looking for someone who is willing to just do their job.'

"You’d think being anthropomorphic would be enough but nowadays you need a Masters to even get your foot in the door."

'Sorry, we can't offer you a job but we would like to publish your CV.'

Opp'y of a Lifetime

'Now then, Simpkins. What makes you think you could become a circus clown?'

This castle manager job better be for real.

'You'll get a promotion when hell freezes over.'

"When you grow up would you rather be a Hunter or Gatherer?"

"So you wouldn't be interrupted while interviewing me, I took the liberty of calling in a bomb threat."

"Anything else...apart from the wheel?"

'I'd like to hire you, but you're not serious enough.'

"Number four wasn't bad, at least he removed his personal CD earphones for most of the interview."

'My next song is a little ditty about why I don't have any references,'

'Sorry Sir, but 'impersonating a log' is not a very marketable skill...'

'True, I'm a robot, but I'm programmed to be a people person.'

"Could you explain this 2500 year gap in your resume?"

I was rapidly rising to my level of incompetence, so I started screwing up just enough to maintain job security.

'Have you ever been bonded?', 'No, but I've been married a couple of times.'

"You're not giving me the job because I'm 'over qualified'? Oh, don't worry, most of those qualifications have been falsified."

"An MBA, a PhD, AND good at catching mice? Wow!"

'Well, what about the two month gap in my reume? I fell into my sofa at home.'

'I'm looking for something, like, 364 days a year.'
