I Just Need A New Job, Ya Know?

As promised, I've come back to the whole resume/interview subject. At an old job of mine, I was responsible for interviewing and hiring potential employees, which can be fun, but can also be a massive pain in the butt and you can meet a lot of colourful people in the process.

I had set up a bunch of interviews for the day and everyone had been really good and I was worrying about how I was going to choose just one or two of them. My next interviewee came in and I sat down with him and my co-worker so he could help me decide who we should hire. I always started my questions off with something to sort of lighten the mood, like "Tell me a bit about yourself", which is exactly what I asked the guy who was sitting in front of me.

It started out harmless enough, with him talking about school, and such. It then led into a rant about his current job that went something like, "I f**king hate my f**king job, all I f**king do is wash f**king dishes and get paid like sh*t. All I want is a new f**king job where I don't have to wash f**king dishes for like no f**cking money, ya know?"

I asked him a few more questions after that, but after the first question, I could tell right off the bat, he was a prize that we did not hire...
