A few weeks ago, a friend of mine forwarded me a hilarious aricle she read on cnn.com about the weird things people say in job interviews.

The article was based on a questionnaire done by Careerbuilder.com, in which they asked hiring managers to share the strangest things they’ve heard in job interviews.  The results are both unbelievable and hysterical.  If you’ve ever stumbled your way through an interview, read this article.  It will make you feel better.

Seeing as it’s Friday, and it’s always good to have a laugh, I thought I’d share a few of the responses.
