Top Ten lists are everywhere... travel websites, David Letterman's show, year-end movie lists the list (UGH) goes on. So I thought in honour of top ten lists everywhere I would do my own!
I'm knee-deep in recruitment and I am not seeing much that is good but I am seeing a whole lot of what I don't like at all. It seems that some people have no concept on how to get a job and their entire interview turns into one spiralling train wreck of mistakes. Agree or disagree I thought I would vent some of my frustration with this fun list... yes it is just for fun and yes it does have some truth in it.
So here goes the Top Ten Things that make me NOT want to hire you.
10. You have no concept of English despite applying for a job in that field.
9. Yu cuhn't spel tu sahve yore lyfe.
8. You were 20 minutes late for the interview.
7. You didn't show up for the interview.
6. You make ethnic slurs or generalisations.
5. You are more handsome than I am!
4. You got lost on the way to the interview more than once.
3. You talk bitterly about your current job prospects, last job, and/or education not realising how horribly unattractive it makes you look!
2. You thought wearing a low-cut top would give you an edge regardless of your gender.
And the number one thing...
1. You wore your most professional neon green foam flip flops to the interview.
Can you tell I'm going a little batty during recruitment?
