Top 5 Things Not To Say During A Job Interview

We here at the Dyer Boys blog are all too aware that times are tough out there. With unemployment on the rise, many people are looking for work and we want to help you land that job you've been dreaming about. But since we have no idea how to go about doing that, here are the top 5 things that you should never, ever say during a job interview. Good luck!



Philip's list:

1. I won't have to work with any blacks other than you, right?

2. Tell you about my special skills and talents? If you have 12 ping-pong balls and a tube of K-Y jelly, it would be easier just to show you.

3. Could you explain to me how your company’s internet porn filter works?

4. Now I know why I recognize you! I used to do home invasion robberies with my old tweaker friends - 217 Inglewood Drive, right?

5. Where do I see myself in 5 years? Well, certainly not serving a life sentence in federal prison for murdering my grandparents and collecting their social security checks since March of 2003, if that's what you're getting at.


Douglas's list:

1. Here's a bag of urine, just in case you guys test for that stuff.

2. Truthfully, I'm not really great at conflict resolution. But my friends Smith and Wesson here are awesome at that kind of thing.

3. Two quick questions. Do your benefits include methadone clinics? And can you sign this court paper for me?

4. I guess I have two major weakness. First would be I'm too much of a perfectionist. And second would be my unquenchable thirst for grain alcohol.

5. Why did I leave my last job? Oh it burned. It burned so, so pretty, and it took all the non-believers to hell with it.

Q: How many sick days do you think it's okay to take in a year?

A: Mmmmm... 6? Well, maybe 5...

Yep, 21 and DUMB...happened to me... Took me a long time to figure out why I didn't get that job...

I need to know if I can have Monday off.


Hypothetically speaking, if a pound bag of cocaine were to drop out of my briefcase on the way in from lunch, would you have a problem with that?

I just want to tell you and be on the level - I've been diagnosed with tou...YOU FUCKFACE!

Nice! And that's just the verbal no-nos.

Do you lock up the office supplies or can I just help myself?

1) GOT YOUR NOSE!

2) Any special skills? Sure..I'm fluent in most operating systems, and I'm getting really really close to debunking the whole Holocaust hoax.

3) In a typical workday, how much time is allotted for selling Girl Scout cookies?

4) Actually, I DO consider being able to write in cursive with my own feces as a valuable job skill.

5) My one weakness may be my penchant for lying. Oooh..did I lie just then? See? I do that shit so much that even I don't know. Or do I?

nipsy said...

Well hell..no wonder I can't get a job.

You did forget one more thing not to ask during an interview:

"Are bras optional"?

"So just how extensive ARE those background checks? I mean, you can have few felonies, er, misdemeanors, right? As long as there were no convictions?"
