I once asked a candidate if they would be available on short notice...she responded with "It depends. It takes me an hour to do my hair". LOL.

I was asked "what do you bring on the table?" - "um - I am German, I guess my humour". the interview was interrupted for five minutes until they stopped crying - I got the job (US-Company)

I once had a young lady apply for a waitress position. During the interview, she was shaking and I asked her why. She said, "You have no idea how badly I need this job." I told her, "You have no idea how badly I need a waitress. So, calm down, let's get through this interview and I'm pretty sure that you'll be hired". She calmed down, I hired her and she turned out to be one of the best hires that I could have made. She was with me until I was promoted and moved away.

I came an hour an a half late, still got the job. Should've seen it coming: *every* meeting started late. I suggested whoever was late, had to bring cake. Stopped that after 2 weeks; getting sick of cake.

"I interviewed a gal once and while we were talking, I was looking over her resume'. (Please note that English IS her first language or else this wouldn't have humored me so much) Her "mission statement" on her resume' was as follows:

"Along with my detail oriented and organizational skills, I will bring encourage team to work cooperatively and creativity to provide an understanding the visual aspects of our work."

This was for an admin position at a law firm. Not sure what "the visual aspects of our work" entailed in this position, honestly. I read it over about 5 or 6 times, worried that I was having a stroke so I didn't really hear much of anything she said during the interview. I haven't been able to make sense of it no matter how many times I read it. I actually cut it out of her resume' and have it sitting on my desk some 15 years later."
