A Not Hired user, Tim, reports that he was interviewing for a job working the front desk at a tanning salon. Here is why Tim was not hired:
The manager explained that spending 2 hours in the sun was like spending 20 minutes in a tanning bed. To which I, having never tanned before in my life, replied without batting an eye, “Oh, so it like microwaves you real quick.”
Needless to say, the manager didn’t really like that remark, and I didn’t get the job.

Not Hired user, “Paula Plenty,” reports that a candidate for a customer service phone representative position talked to each of the three people with whom she interviewed about how important it was to have the ability to watch a portable television in her cubicle. The candidate sealed her “not hired” fate by following up her interview with a letter that included:
I know you can understand that being allowed to watch TV helps keeps [sic] us sane during the downtime and giving good customer support really only takes one ear. The customers on the phone don’t have to know that I have a TV and I like to watch TV at work because it doesn’t hurt my work, I have a mini TV that I like to keep on my desk and watch with a white earplug. My other ear can hear the phone and listen to customer support issues. You have to trust me that it isn’t a problem even when very dramatic story is happening on my shows.

![I don\'t have any problem deceiving people and I\'m not hard on the eyes. My current position doesn\'t utilize either of these capacities to their fullest extent, nor does it offer anywhere near fair compensation. [snip] Of course, you\'re wondering, \"Well, why won\'t you just lie to me?\" Well, to answer your astute query, I probably will. As a person who has hired others, I\'m sure that you realize that everyone who will request a position will lie to you.](http://img.nothired.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/the_liar.gif "The Liar")
