Instead of getting all bent out of shape over innocuous remarks made by President of Mexico, perhaps Lord and Prince of African-American Ideological Imperialism (that's Lord Jesse and Prince Al) should know just how Americans apply for those jobs they so vehemently claim Mexicans are stealing.The good folks at Careerbuilder.com recently took a peek into matter. In a survey of 600 hiring managers, 70 percent of them reported following bizarre behaviors displayed by American job applicants. [1]
Now listen carefully Lord Jackson and Prince Al:
· No shows—they make appointment for job interview then do not show up
· Compulsive watch-checking during interview
· Interviewee asking interviewer to hurry up interview
· Applicants literally running from room as soon as word "drug testing" is mentioned
· Applicants telling hiring manager that company has a black aura and leaving interview
· Applicants showing up for interview in T-shirts and jeans
· "One job hopeful arrived at his interview displaying a hairy chest, medallion, strong cologne and a wad of gum in his mouth. And which is worse: applicant who wore a housecoat and slippers or one who wore his slippers with a bathing suit and T-shirt?" [2]
· Applicant singing national anthem
· Trying to sell interviewer a car
· Applicant drops to floor and starts doing Yoga during interview
· Applicant lapses into doing celebrity imitations
· Applicant tells interviewer he wants job so he can get employee discounts and then retire in 2 months
· Applicant tells interviewer that George Bush was his last supervisor at his previous place of employment
