How Many HR Managers Have To Sit Through Interviews Like These?

Posted on April 17, 2009 by Anthony Zaller

I am sure HR managers have their share of funny interviewing tales - but I recently came across the How To Nail An Interview website (via Seth Godin).  The author of the site staged a fake company to see what type of applicants he would have for an open "marketing coordinator" position.  He recorded the interviews (yes - the first idea I had was if this was legal, but the author says he disclosed the fact that the participants might be recorded).  The outcome is hilarious.  

Readers should visit How To Nail An Interview, but here are a couple of my favorite interviews from the site.
