Interviews are interesting displays of human character. Everyone is on their best behavior, and yet they try to act normal. That creates some paradoxes.<\/p>\n

Monster.com has listed some interesting humor <\/a>from the world of interviews.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One woman, being interviewed for a clerical position, was asked about her \u201cyes\u201d mark next to the felony conviction question. She had hired someone to kill her ex-husband, but at the last minute she called it off. She claimed her medication was now helping.<\/p>\n

One man being interviewed for an 1-800 sales job for a retailer claimed that he \u201chated the Internet, hated catalogs, hated shopping.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another position was for a phlebotomist in-training position, but the interviewee admitted that she \u201chated needles.\u201d<\/p>\n

One person was very nervous during an interview and kept glancing at his watch. \u201cIs there a problem?\u201d the interviewer asked? \u201cIt\u2019s just that my wife is in labor. I dropped her off at the hospital on the way here.\u201d
<\/strong><\/span>
Red Letter Believers<\/strong><\/span>, Christians who follow the words of Christ, need to be honest and open during job interviews. Interviews are also great places to relay your faith. \u201cI am a Christian and I am very serious about work, because it ultimately glorifies God. I believe this will make me a better worker and I\u2019ll be a great asset to this company.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you go into your job from day one with this attitude, you\u2019ll be a success and do your work \u2018as unto the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n
