| How to have a bad interview He did not get the job The young man was proud of his abilities as a newly certified mechanic when he confidently walked into the repair shop to apply for an opening. The shop’s manager asked just a few questions. “Can you tip your head, roll your hat down your arm and flip it back to the top of your head in one motion?” “Well, yes, I can do that,” said the applicant someone puzzled by the question. |
| "Can you juggle four different sized tools at the same time?” “Never tried it, but I am sure I can learn how to,” answered the obviously proud new mechanic. “Final question: When you use your wrench in a sword fight are you able to disarm your opponent in under 30 seconds?” asked the manager. “Yes, we did that during breaks at school. I was the champ!” the applicant said boastfully. "Then never mind, we cannot use you,” said the boss. “What?” asked the puzzled applicant. “I have a shop full of guys that do that all day -- I need someone that will work.” Know before you hire Did you know you can learn an applicant’s work ethic, dependability, propensity for drug or Internet abuse, and reliability before you hire them? The Profiles SOS is a great assessment tool to help you in the interview process. Not only will you see how the employee ranks for those key qualities, you will be provided with legal interview questions to help you ascertain the character of those you seek to add to your employment roles.
