Interview Escapade Enthusiast Gifts

"I had to take three buses and a cab to get here. Talk about a difficult transit!"

I hope a starting salary of 80 and a severance of 12 is acceptable....

"Where would you see yourself in five years' time?"

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

'Your resume is impressive, but next time try to shorten it from 100 pages to one.'

Do you have any other skills?

'And I see you've listed opposable thumbs as your greatest asset...'

'Don't start timing me yet! This staple won't come out!'

You're next, Mr. Kimble - right after his apple danish.

'This is my kind of place. You knock bottles off a table with a baseball and get a prize instead of time-out!'

"I'm looking for a 'yes man' who can say 'no' without sounding negative"

'Your resume and interview were so bad, not only did you not get the job, I'm having you arrested as well.'

"You say you’re currently holding down 3 jobs...very impressive."

And I like to call this my 'dance of the enhanced PEP at alternative firms'.

"So, you want to work at our firm, Eh?"

"Allow me to respond to your question with a question of my own that I can answer."

Help wanted. Various positions available.

'I was just beginning to think about my portfolio. Now you're telling me to rethink it.'

'The position carries no salary, just healthcare coverage.'

"Mine says this relationship will never work out and I should dump you right now!"

"Hey! I can see the Empire State Building!"

"Would you like something you're under qualified for, or something you're overqualified for?"

'He will observe your text now...'

'It's a difficult position to fill. Someone who's smarter than me - and smart enough to pretend not to know it.'

'You don't want the job, do you?'

"And where do you see your mustache in five years?"

"Where do you see yourself five lives from now?"

'Have you got a resume?'

'I see you have extensive experience eating, sleeping, and mating. That puts you two steps ahead of all the college graduates who have applied.'

Don't use live interviews as rehearsals-practise and prepare.

'Congratulations, you've got the job. Unfortunately though, you'll be constantly late, and we'll fire you in two months.'

I think you should go after my job!
