Freaky tactics that might get you that job
August 05, 2008 By: almostgotit Category: Freak factor, freak, humor, interviewing, interviewsSpeaking of being freaky, a big hat-tip to Kathy, who sent me a link to an article published yesterday by CNN, Weird tactics can sometimes get you the job. The article is terrific, but not as terrific as Kathy, who notes:
This reminded me of my sister who interviewed three times for vet school, failing the first two times because her interview went poorly. She came to Joe and me for a mock interview; my first question was, “Why do you want to be a vet?” She mumbled about loving animals. True but trite. I suggested she consider saying, “The last time I had my arm up a cow butt (she did do this as a veterinary asst.), I realized that not everyone would love this, but I did.” She got in.

The last time *I* had my arm up a cow butt, I … wait, I’ve never had my arm up a cow butt, and I don’t think I would want to. No vet school for me!
