  1. When my dad was in charge of hiring in his department, he used to have the candidate wait in the canteen for a bit. The cleaning lady would come in and chat to the person. After the interview she'd tell my dad if they were a dick, because if they were an ass to "lesser" staff while sucking up to the boss, it wasnt an immediate rejection but it did show their true colours

  2. The comic book one made me think. I probably would not think anything of seeing a stack of comic books besides, "Oh, comic books." I do not think that I would think to mention them, but I would not feel uncomfortable either.

  3. Everyone deserves a second chance when they mess up. One of my foremen at work used to be a meth addict and is currently on probation. His PO comes to the jobsite to give him a urinalysis and he passes per his usual. Genuinely nice guy and is always willing to teach people things. Hell of a sense of humor on him as well.

  4. Story 14: That's the sign of a good boss. You allow your associates to be part of the hiring process because they need to work alongside who you end up choosing. If you have good people, you get good work done.

  5. I hope that Rusty wasn't the Rusty I knew. Don't know why he was locked up, just know he beat my mother on occasion, then stole her paycheck, what was supposed to be my first car (my uncle's 1976 Ram) my brother's winter coats and bikes, and all during the winter.

    He even stole mom's makeup. Only thing he left was his van, torn apart at the workshop. Left the title though.

    Oh, and that truck got reported atolen, so he torched it. Anything good about my childhood had a 50% of being within 2 miles of that truck.

    Rusty was a balding red head with the first name Rustle and a last name starting with G. Guy came out of Wyoming. You meet him, tell him he sucks.

  6. Some of the social tests make sense, like using potential coworkers to weed out abusers and karens. Others are less…. I get the idea of it being a pet peeve not to taste food before seasoning, but seriously Ford?

  7. I'd recommend against the salting the food test in this day and age. One could argue that they come from a culture where the food is more heavily salted, and so they know a typical local restaurant won't have food to their taste. Thus, one could argue the test is discriminatory.

  8. I went to school with a girl whose mother came in for a job interview. Walking down the hall, a broom was lying on the floor. She picked it up and placed it up against the wall. When she was called in for the interview, she got hired right away. The broom was a test. The others interviewing before her had stepped over it and left it lying there. They wanted someone who could figure out to clean up and think on their own without being told every simple, little task.

  9. Not a manager but the interviewee

    I had the hiring manager come talk to me and asked me about previous jobs

    I explained with confidence and i was hired on the spot

    My resume was kinda crappy due to jobs firing me and the manager wanted to give me a chance

    I wowed them and proved them I'm a worlthy employee

    I am still working there πŸ™‚

  10. I have people who fix lights. I ask a question that would be hard for an electrician to answer, much less a regular person. It tells me 3 things: 1) Based on the words they use, how much they know about electrical in general. 2) How good they are at BS if they're not sure and 3) If they're willing to just admit they don't know. Very few say "I don't know".

    Also, if I'm interviewing you, that means, on paper at least, you're qualified for the job. I'm evaluating you as a person, not your skills.
