Interview Bloopers

One thing that is contastly on the rise in our company is the employee turnover. I have trained so many CS representatives that I can now recite the training material in my sleep. Due to the same reason I have had to conduct a lot of interviews. During these interviews some of the responses that I got were hilarious. Read on all of them are absolutely true. Due to the low salary structure they are all usually fresh people with no customer service experience.

Me: Why are you applying for customer service?
Reply: Because my brother said anyone get a job in Customer Serivce.
(He proved his brother wrong)

Me: What do you think a customer service department does?
Reply: It services a customer.
(Now this guy had a nack for stating the obvious)

Me: What do you know about this company?
Reply: Nothing
Me: Then why did you apply?
Reply: My father asked me to.
(I told him to send his father for the interview)

Me: What is the reason for leaving your last employment?
Reply: (Lady candidate) It was not entertaining, I used to get bored.
(Well none of my guys was ready to dance for her so I had to let her go)

Me: Why do you think you are suitable for customer serivce?
Reply: 'cus I am creative
Me: How does being creative help in CS?
Reply: 'cus I am creative
Me: Well then give me a creative reply!
Reply: Like I say I am creative.
(This guy claimed to be fluent in English too)

Me: So it says here your hobby is body building? Why just body building?
Reply: Because "chicks" like it. With a wink
( I used record number of *bleeps* in one sentence that day)

One lady came for an interview with her mother. I can maybe understand her coming to the reception. But the girl insisted that she sit in the interview too. Do I need to say more?

One pretty little thing came with her boyfriend. The boyfriend walked in (John Travolta style), informing me and the HR officer that he wanted to see if there were respectable people working here or not. His tushy was kissing the side walk before his hip could swing one more time.

One lady called me on my cell and told me that she was having trouble finding the office. I asked her where she was standing. It turned out that she was standing right across from our office. So I asked her if she could see the bungalow with our 3 signsboards on it, yes came the reply. And before I could say anything she said are you in the same bunglow? I asked her to go home.

I have enjoyed these bloopers and hope that these people wisened up before their next interview or chances are they are still unemployed.
