Friday follies: Candidates say the *?(!#$(&*est things

Candidates say the *?(!#$(&*est things - these are actual spoken comments from recent interviews,
verbatim.

"I'm a administrative assistance and office extraordinare"
"I done some research"
"I inputted stuff"
"Do ya'll do the internet and stuff over there?"
"Well I spent most of my time working for Jimmy's brother over there"
"I was calling to touch ground with you"

Actual written comments:
"I would certainly advice you to hire an expert!" (As would I, perhaps an expert proofreader?)

More follies:
When I ask if I can answer any questions for you, "I'd like to be a part of the company" is not a
question.

When I ask "Can you give me some examples of some of the applications you have developed recently",
responding with "I really prefer the Agile development method" is not an appropriate answer.

Showing up a little bit early to an interview is great. Showing up 48 hours early because you forgot
what day it was... not so much.
