Who said that funny, can’t also be informational? Check out the hilarious interview video clip below and stop back after for my comments.
What have we learned?
- DON’T get caught up in a magazine while waiting for them to start your interview
- DO dress well. The guy totally dresses the part in this interview
- DON’T hit on anyone or ask for their phone number. Even when you think you can guess the first 3 digits
- DON’T tip anyone. You know this, right?
- DO smile when greeting your interviewer. The man is certainly confident.
- DON’T bring up awkward/weird animal facts. What are you, a zoologist?
- DON’T use company names from movies for your resume. Although awesome, I don’t suggest it.
- DO move the conversation to an area of expertise you are more comfortable with. He totally moved it on to his “special skills”.
- DON’T list your “Dong” size under special skills. Thanks.

Haha, this is hilarious! Thanks for showing it – kind of makes me feel awkward for him.
When I saw this I knew I had to post it. I know right, I felt awkward for him, but that dude definitely didn’t feel awkward. He was loving every minute of that interview…
This reminds me of a girl I interviewed in Michigan who told me her proudest accomplishment was being the only virgin in her sorority. It was awkward.
Hey Sarah – Your response should have been to switch to an awful interview question just to move away as quick as possible. Like, “umm, so where do you see yourself in 5 years…”
Rich. This. Is. Hilarious!
Glad you got some laughs from this, Rachel!
Fantastic Friday afternoon post, haha. You just reminded me that I really, REALLY need a slap bracelet, and for that I say, THANK YOU.
Something told me you would enjoy this, Jenny. Vlog a slap bracelet, please.
This is hilarious!
Pepsi’s job interview commercial is similar to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKV0QuQsonk
Wow, that was amazing, Ashlee! I loved when he threw himself out the door!
Rich,
That made my morning. To be honest, I always have thought it would be fun and do something totally insane in an interview. Obviously I would never do that, but it could still make a great story. I had an Indian friend once who had some really ridiculous stories. The first time he went to the interview, he had to take a leak really bad and like a jackass decides not to wait till he gets in the building. The guy who caught him turned out to be the guy who was interviewing him. A second time, he couldn’t make it a second round interview with another person, so he sent a friend in his place. Again, not recommended, but really funny things that this brought back memories of.
Yo Srini – I can not believe he sent someone in his place. That is like Good Will Hunting! haha, it is perfect and hilarious, but obviously not suggested.
And, what a jack ass. Why would he pee outside?
The dude in this interview was in a fairly entertaining Mayne Street short on ESPN… you ever see that? Don’t have time to find the link now.
I have always enjoyed the Good Will Hunting / Harold & Kumar movie tradition of “effing with the interview” by doing something dumb. I also feel strongly that dong size references should make more appearances in comedy.
Hey Royce, I haven’t seen it, but I think I need to check that out!
The Good Will Hunting scene is pretty awesome. I love it because of how persuasive he is in getting their money. It’s perfect.
