Lighter side: The world’s funniest job interviews

LinkedIn has gathered anecdotes from hiring managers around the world to compile a re-enactment of the funniest (and most bizarre) job interview experiences.

Many HR professionals will have experienced questionable job interviews during their careers – but have you ever had a candidate arrive late because they were involved in a fistfight on the way? Or had an interviewee name their best quality as their eyelashes?

Recently, LinkedIn Talent Solutions asked recruiters around the globe about their funniest job interview stories, and produced a video that re-enacted the best anecdotes.

The stories ranged from candidates quoting Game of Thrones to claiming to simultaneously attend Yale University and the University of Mumbai at the same time – which would involve a rather lengthy commute.
