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.

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