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"

      D and D is the answer.

      It works very well it’s just frustrating because it can win enough games to keep those three coaches employed even when they don’t innovate or ever make a decision that doesn’t come from a chart. If they weren’t so robotic in their decision making they’d be in the top tier of NFL coaches.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
