Best one I ever heard was at College. Lad walks in and the interviewer is hidden behind his newspaper, reading it.

"Surprise me" he says

So the lad gets his fag lighter out and sets fire to the newspaper!

Urban myth dude. I've actually heard people saying their cool best friend done it.

Yeah, dude, I'm sure you're right!

Like all these things too cool to be true.

If you do not want the job, wear a very nasty dress.

Particularly the blokes.

Actually this did happen to me once. So I punched him in the face as hard as I could, through the newspaper.

Tell them you're the son of god.

In the middle of the interview phone up you mate and buy some weed.

My tip would be lie your arse off!! I feel sorry for these suckers on a truth kick!:thumbsup:

The job centre once forced me to take an interview for a sh*te job. The woman asked me what I would most like to improve about myself and I replied that I wished I could get up early when I didn't really have to. In fact, it was a true statement, and I have now succeeded in my 'life aim' - I can get up early for myself. She was not too pleased though :)

I tend to play the interviewer half way through the interview, using reverse psychology, asking the questions at the right time, shows you understand the interview techniques that are being used on you.

i accidentally broke the heel on my boot on my way the interview- not to be deterred i fixed it with sellotape at the reception before going in to the interview room.

panicking about the sellotape and the fear that the interview panel would think i was a complete wierdo i broke the ice by explaining my story and apologising for my appearance.

then when they asked me the inevitable 'can you tell us about a time when you have had to face an obstacle whilst under pressure' i laughed and said it couldnt be a better example than today.

the atmosphere was relaxed, i showed i could laugh at myself in a situation i could do nothing about and carry on calmly, and i showed my ingenuity.

im not saying break your shoe- but hey, i got the job!

(oh yeah, and 12 months on, one of the interviewers is now trying to poach me for his department)

Be memorable, that's the biggest problem most companies want somebody that will have a positive impact on their team, so show them what you are about!

Pick up their mug of coffee, drink it, then eat their mug. Impresses every time.

When you shake hands with them, curl your little finger in to your palm. It surprises people.

They say that if you get intimidated you should visualise the interviewer sat there in his underpants.

This always used to work for me until the time I had an interview and the interviewer actually was sat there in his underpants!

Directly after each question you answer, give a cheeky little wink to the interviewer. By displaying such an immediately friendly manner, the job is surely almost certain to be yours.

I interviewed a guy with our HR lady who happens to be very pretty and at the end he said to us "well Emma I hope ive excited you enough to think of me for you and your role." At that point I knew I needed another recruitment agency.

My sister, who is a cardiac nurse, saved the life of a fellow interviewee during a group task when the other woman had a cardiac arrest. She didn't get the job subsequently. My sister, that is.

I once masterbated violently at my burger king interview, you know, just for sh_ts and giggles, luckilly she was an attractive manageress who appreciated my forward candor, and then finished the job with her face hole. Didn't get the job though as I was "Too punctuall". this actually happened
