An anonymous Not Hired user reports:
New applicants for a position in Rental Property Management have to take a computer and logic test. A part of the test is a Venn Diagram, not too complex one would think. Out of the 15 people who have come in and taken the test, only one person has completed the test correctly. Here are three of the biggest fails. . .

I forgot to mention that a person responsible for one of the diagrams got offered the job. She lasted one day.

Okay, so. . . a user pointed us to this on the web. The accompanying info claims that this was a 17-year-old kid’s answers to a McDonald’s job application–and that he was actually hired because the hiring manager found him funny. We remain a bit skeptical, but pass the doc along for your mild enjoyment. . .

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.
