I once had a company call me back for an interview on New Year’s Eve (around 6 or 7 pm)…It’s like dude, for one thing, I’ve been pregaming it for New Year’s Eve, and second, you’re a tiny independent kindergarten in Japan, I know jack shit all about your school beyond that. And now I know you work insane hours (New Year’s is a huge family holiday in Japan, no one works it, especially not school teachers), and I want nothing to do with you.

I was recruiting a new engineer and a gentleman from the middle east applied. Great papers, great experience, awesome cover letter. We actually fly him in to do an in-person interview. He refused to speak to our female receptionist and refused to shake hands with the female HR manager doing the interview with me. He ignored her during the meeting. We ended the interview in about 5 minutes. Needless to say, he was not hired.

My manager once had a guy come in for a job interview. “Dolf” seemed really nice, clean-cut, polite. He was talking to her and rolled up his sleeves… SWASTIKAS!!! An arm full of swastikas. She was honest and told him she didn’t think it was going to work out, as the owner of the business was Jewish. He was like, “Okay, I understand.” They were in there for about two minutes.
