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.

When asked in the interview to list his weaknesses, the male candidate puzzled for a few moments–as though he could not think of any–and started to answer, “Weakness? Huh. . . I’m not sure. . .”
After thinking hard, he finally perked up and responded brightly:
“My abs!”
