Those are pretty obvious if you ask me. Who listens to their iPhone while waiting for an interview, or would trash someone they just met???? But sadly, I'm sure there are people like this.

Now, for the piece of wisdom for the day. This will pretty much cover you based on those observations in the article.
Respect everybody, until you find out they're a moron

Some interviews at Jamba Juice were more proper than at Wamu for me, the people at Jamba came in knowing they were here for a summer job for some quick cash. At Wamu people came in wearing street clothes, horrible attitude, one guy straight up claimed "Ya'll need me, I make the duckets." To our district manager, no joke.

Got some great work stories.

For me, I dont change untill im leaving the house, leave the cell in the car, hygine hygine hygine, and always remember your pregame poop.

So you're one of those, jamba juice made me so racist. Its sad to know after years you still remember all the old recipies.
1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
2/3 cup frozen whole strawberries
1 banana, sliced
2 scoops vanilla nonfat frozen yogurt
1 cup ice

Ill bill you for my therapy

I dont see anything 'new' about this.....besides checking the person's car. seriously wtf is that all about? I don't think i'd want to work for a creepy ass company that will check the back seat of the car or dig through my trash outside of my home.

HR is always on the lookout when it comes to your personality and the way you present yourself to others.

 

[Agent0028]

Okay, some of that stuff is weird and ridiculous.

 

[Kabukiman]

You know what the craziest part of that whole article was? They quoted some dude named "Waffles Natusch"

Really? ...Waffles? ...Really?

Yes, but if you're in the waiting room and they have all kinds of magazines laying about and you pick up one and look through it and they use this to judge your potential job performance? That's silly. Looking in your car?

Anyway, it just goes to show that they're aren't alot of jobs out there that they have to resort to this to weed people out.

But then, my first boss used to put codes on the resumes if the applicant was hot or not. He hired very few men.

I'm always amazed at how many people think since it's a retail job, they can show up wearing sweats and smelling like stale cigarettes, and rock back and forth in the swivel chair and snap their gum, and then act all surprised and offended when I call and tell them the position has been filled. I wish that list was common sense, but really...not so much.

Maybe his parents loved waffles?

 

[Sideshow Q]

I would not want to work for a company that exercised any of those "techniques" in hiring decisions. Obviously, their HR or management has issues. Imagine how it would be as an actual employee.

Like most news, I'm sure they latched onto isolated weird examples and are blowing them out of proportion.

 

[Darklord Dave]

In the entertainment industry it is common for perspective employees to be photographed in the interview.

I had a psychology teacher in high school back in like '81 who used to tell us of this type of thing. So it is nothing new. I thought it was brilliant that a manager would take a person to lunch to make charachter determinations. This particular scenario saw a man miss out on a job for salting his macaroni and cheese before tasting it to see if it needed it.

I would do something like this. I would have a wall full of shelves of Sideshow figures and if the candidate trhought they were cool...they would be in immediately!
