Interview Gifts

I think you'll appreciate my resume. It's printed on a fridge magnet.

'Your resume is certainly impressive, Mr. Simmons, but do you have much on the job experience?'

'You'd be right for us if we decide to lower our standards.'

"The pay is nothing to boast about but..."

"This is a wonderful CV Mrs. Wilson!"

"So, tell me a little bit more about this house training you mention on your CV."

"So, I see you have a background in advertising..."

'Very impressive educational background...now let's discuss WHO you know.!

"It's made entirely out of rejected resumes."

"There are no big jobs, only small machines."

'You'll have to take an online company aptitude test, but if you're the designer we're looking for, you've already designed an app for that.'

I'm a self-made man!

'Can you do more work then is humanly possible?'

"To make this interview more entertaining I would like you to take a breath of helium before answering the questions."

"I see by your resume this would be your first time in a symbiotic relationship."

PERSONNEL, 'Why did you leave your previous employment?', 'They asked too many questions!'

'One final question: Have you ever been disciplined, investigated or suspended for integrity on the job?'

Do you have any other skills?
