You and I could swap some interviewing war stories. I can't tell you the number of candidates where we started off with a wish list - "Must have 3-5 yrs, experience in X, Y, and Z and so on and so forth" ...... and wound up with "Must show up to work on time, and not curse at the clients."

My favorite is the girl (!) who called me for the phone interview - that's a little out of protocol, usually I'm supposed to call the interviewee, but no matter.

Anyhoo, she started the conversation with "Yeah, I'm calling about the &%&#ing interview?" and went downhill from there. :-)

We had a african american show up for her interview in her pajamas. Needless to say we didn't hire her.

We hired a chinese kid who only lasted 1 day. His mother called and told us that the work we gave him to do was below him.
