Wow... Sadly it doesn't surprise me though. I've had to interview people in the past, here's a breakdown of some crackers:

 

- One fine fellow turned up 20minutes late, in sweat-pants and a hoodie, arrived with an 'entourage' of fellow synthetic fibered friends. My boss interviewed this one, by interview I mean he made him wait 20minutes in his office then told him to leave.

- "Job center told me to come or I lose my benefits" He didn't get the job

- One lady turned up in a mini skirt and no underwear. Left quite the imprint on a faux-leather chair. She was short-listed, the seat was binned.

- Another arrived for an interview... With his dog and a crumpled up CV, entitled "*****s curriculum vito"

 

It blew my mind, all my life I had it drilled into me that I turn up for every interview in a suit with a fresh CV. In school, university, parents and even older friends.

Yep, I've interviewed some shockers too - terrible spelling, lazy punctuation and no idea how to act in a social environment. Unreal when you think what I do for a job! Why do they even bother?! It's the same for work experience applicants. Taking time on an application pays. Same as writing a classified advert for a car.
