Stories from HR professionals compiled by Reader's Digest...

 

We ask prospective job applicants at our business to fill out a questionnaire. For the line 'Choose one word to summarize your strongest professional attribute,' one woman wrote, "I'm very good at following instructions."

 

A guy once talked during the interview about how an affair cost him a previous job.

 

I had somebody list their prison time as a job. And an exotic dancer who called herself a 'customer service representative.'

 

Candidate specified that his availability was limited because Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was 'drinking time.'

 

A guy who forgot dark socks to wear with his suit colored in his ankles with a black felt-tip marker.

 

I was interviewing someone who took a cell-phone call and asked me to leave my office while they talked.

 

The candidate told the interviewer he was fired from his last job for beating up his boss.

 

The candidate said that by crossing the Maryland state line he was in violation of his probation but felt the interview was worth risking possible jail time.

 

An applicant said she was a ‘people person,’ not a ‘numbers person,’ in her interview for an accounting position.

 

A candidate complained that she was hot. She then said ‘Excuse me’ and removed her socks. After placing them on the desk, she continued as if everything was normal.

When hunting for my next job I'm using this answer if I get asked, mostly because it's a BS question.

 

"What would you say is your greatest weakness"

 

"I'm too honest"

 

"I don't think that's a weakness"

 

"I don't give a poo what you think"

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
