"In addition to 'loyalty' are there any OTHER qualities you think you could bring to the job?"

'Are you free at the moment?'

'Your resume is quite impressive. However, I'm a little concerned about you biting your last four bosses.'

"We are looking for temps, but I'm afraid you're too temp for us."

'Sorry, but I don't think you're right for our company.'

'Scoutmasters aren't usually used as references.'

'Inadequate, insecure, obsessive lacking in empathy or commitment...excellent, when can you start?'

'I told the interviewer that I walked away from a six-figure job. I just left out the part about the security escort.'

'Do you see yourself as a team player?'

"And this is our head of HR who will be arranging your contract."

"Well, I made you a job offer and you accepted. I guess the only thing left is for me to read you your Miranda rights."

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