OF FUNNY ANSWERS BY
CANDIDATES
BY
Fast Collab
Description
If I had to name two things which take the stress out of recruitment, then,
they have to be Applicant Tracking System and funny answers candidates
give during interviews.
1. Honesty isn’t always the best policy
• Interviewer: What’s your worst quality?
• Candidate: I’m kind of unreliable!
• Interviewer: I appreciate the honesty, but dude! You just lost your job!
2. Client-stealing
• Interviewer: Ok tell me why do you want this job?
• Candidate: I want to gain experience and build connections with clients to
start my own firm.
• Interviewer: I admire your curiosity and skill, but have you heard of
something called ethics?
3. Overqualified
• Interviewer: Sorry, you are not qualified for this role.
• Candidate: Can I see your CV to check if you are qualified enough to judge
my abilities?
• Interviewer: I’m sorry, You aren’t qualified for that either.
4. Can I ask you a question?
• Candidate: Can I ask you a question?
• Interviewer: Sure, go ahead
• Candidate: How much does your organization pay you to do these
interviews?
• Interviewer: Whatever it is, I’m definitely charging more for handling you.
5. Real reason of taking a job
• Interviewer: How badly do you need this job?
• Candidate: Pretty badly; cigarettes are getting so very expensive
• Interviewer: Yeah, you are right (sympathetically)!
6. I really need to know this about you
• Interviewer: Is there anything else I should know about you?
• Candidate: I oversleep and have trouble getting out of bed in the
morning.
• Interviewer: Is it! Good to know buddy! (Looks exasperated). You do know
this job is in the morning shift, don’t you?
7. You see I know how to C
• Interviewer: Do you know C?
• Candidate: I don’t really know C, but I can fake it so the compiler thinks I
do.
• Interviewer: I like that; exactly what we want!
8. Seems like a good option!
• Interviewer: Everything is fine…so, what do we do now?
• Candidate: Table tennis?
• Interviewer: Seriously?
9. Was waiting to ask this question
• Interviewer: Do you have any questions?
• Candidate: Yes
• Interviewer: Go ahead
• Candidate: What if my degree turns out to be a fake in your background
checks.
• Interviewer: Hmm….you do know your way out, don’t you?
10. Hobbies and Interests
• Interviewer: What are your hobbies?
• Candidate: I am interested in tall corporate ladies!
• Interviewer: Confused
Thanking You
