More job candidates behaving badly

MORE CANDIDATES BEHAVING BADLY:

Does this sound like something you would do? (Be ashamed if you answer yes)

You took my scheduled telephone interview call while dining inside a crowded cafeteria. (Tell the
clerk I'll take a pastrami on rye, extra mayo, and tell the screaming kid to knock it off.)

You told me that in your last position, you taked notes. (as in, rhymes with baked / faked / ached)

You said, "Not gonna lie, I don't remember anything about your job posting."

I asked if you had any questions. You told me you had a lot of questions but you weren't going to ask
them.

Your phone number does not appear anywhere in any of your correspondence, even after I let you know
that I needed a phone# to reach you.

Your personal email address is still @aol.com. And now you're spamming me with enlargement offers and
can't-miss stock picks.

I asked in our phone interview what you're hoping to do you at this point in your career, and you
responded "It's hard to say." (Do you have a chance? It's hard to say...)
