Quick repartis

I've been interviewing this afternoon, not my favourite sport. I was however moved to howls of laughter by the response to a question from one candidate.

 

Me: "The job sometimes entails long periods of inactivity, and potantially boredom. How do you think you'd cope with that?"

Candidate (looking at me with total disdain): "I currently work for McDonalds."

 

Brilliant!

I hope that person is getting hired.

I'll make a decision tomorrow, but I think he's far too smart for the job. I'll give him some confidential advice on where he should be looking career-wise. But shit, the guy's only 19, and he reminds me so much of my confident, gobshite son, who, if he gets an interview, will piss it. I also had the archetypal fat slob computer geek who, at the age of 24, looks destined for a job as a replenishment assistant. As a dad, I despair.
