"So what attracted you to us?"

'Nice smile! What do you think?'

'The ice to Eskimos is very impressive.'

"It says here you can think on your feet. What happens when you sit down?"

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

'... And you say that this would be your dream job?... Well, with a CV like this I think you'd better wake up!'

'I hope he doesn't ask about that one thing.'

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

"You're just the man we're looking for. Come around to this side of the desk, and I'll gather up my things and get the heck out of here."

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

'I'm sure that you are highly qualified. It's just that we're not hiring anyone at the third grade level.'

"Where do you see yourself in 20 to 25 years?"

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

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

"Yes, we do accept resumes online, but there's more to it than giving me your computer with your resume on it."

"Wow...your resume is quite impressive."

"I see by your resume that you're having trouble finding work because you pad your resume."

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

"That's the last time I write my own resume!"

Your salary as a research assistant is commensurate on your ability of spell, define, and delineate the work 'commensurate.'

"What we're looking for is someone who think outside the box?"

"According to your resume, you've done just about everything except ever having a job."

"I'll put your application on file, Mr. Brandt, but I'm quite happy with my current paperweight."
