Nonetheless, he was wasting my time, and I wasn't happy about it. So I worked some additional questions into my usual interview script:
-- "If you were a dinosaur, which one would you be?" "Why?" (When he finally stammered a confused answer to this one, I just stared at him for like 10 seconds.)
-- "Tell me about the worst boss you've ever worked for." (He had no problem answering this one.) Then I said "Let's say I'm him. Tell me - I mean him - why I should hire you for this job." I almost larfed out loud at the "wtf?" balloon over his head
-- "What's the second toughest challenge you faced at your last job?" Slight twist on a standard interview question had him looking at my ceiling tiles mumbling 'um....second toughest?....um'
-- "Describe yourself using one-syllable words." When he started blurting out words, I said "In a sentence." This is where he couldn't really suppress the "you mf-er" look on his face any more
Friggin deek. GTFO out of my office.
