(#27) Communication Over Internets
From Redditor u/-1z-:
I was interviewing candidates for level 1 technical help desk. The most ridiculous candidate had a b&w print out of an MBA from a Panama university that didnt exist from a google search.
I asked him how he would guide a user to troubleshoot their internet connection and and replied "The tcp/ip protocol is used for communication over internets..."
(#20) Dead Fish Eye Face
From Redditor u/DarthMurdok:
Not knowing their resume is always the biggest tip-off. "It says here you know apache, can you give more insight into what you did?" and then I get that dead fish eye face like I just asked them to kill my grandma. I'll even help them out a bit and give them file names and ask if they edited them and if I continue to get a space cadet I'll just revert to generic questions to pad out the rest of the interview and hit the 30 minute mark.
(#10) His Son Wasn't Interested
From Redditor u/FreshAppleJuice:
At our software company we first screen potential candidates through a phone call with technical recruiters. One applicant did exceptionally well on the phone interview answering all questions with apparent ease so we decided to interview in person.
The in person interview went shockingly horrible. The candidate was unable to answer even the most basic questions. After a few attempts to simplify questions I finally decided to ask him what was going on. Turns out we had interviewed his computer scientist son on the phone, and he was simply hoping to skirt by the in person interview with 20 years of experience in construction (lost his job)...
I tried to hire his son but he wasn't interested.
(#29) Interviewers Talk
From Redditor u/Crazeeeyez:
Agree with many of the comments here. My own view :
no examples just vague conversation or talking points
avoids or can’t answer follow up questions
multiple interviewers hear a different Story and take away. I had one person tell me they lived and breathes operations and another interviewer they never worked in operations before. Do you think we don’t talk before making a decision??
(#21) We All Make Mistakes
From Redditor u/touchytypist:
For non-entry level positions ask them about a failure related to their field of experience. What's the biggest mistake you've made working with X (project, people, systems, etc.), and how did you handle it?
If they say they've never made a mistake they're either not being honest or don't have much experience. Also, helps find people that won't cover up their mistakes. If the candidate answers they handled it by also informing their manager or executive team, they are usually more transparent and better communicators.
(#13) No Gordon Ramsey Impressions
From Redditor u/smokeywokeypokey:
i've been running kitchens for a long time, and anytime i get an interview who's talking like gordon ramsey or postulating about how good they are and how inspired by michellin starred chefs they are, it's a massive red flag that this idiot's cooking experience has been 90% youtube videos, 8% home cooking and 2% standing around looking at his phone on the line.
Raging passion for the food industry is carved into you and it shows in your people skills, cooking skills and work ethic. It doesn't come from calling your coworkers idiots and pretending you know better than your head chef.
