WHAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING YOU’VE EVER SAID TO GET A JOB? OR THE STUPIDEST THING YOU’VE EVER HEARD IN A JOB INTERVIEW?
The apprentice is back,so stupid statements are all over the media Lord Sugar has felt compelled to tell the world via the BBC website that all applicants aren’t stupid.But here are some of their quotes so far.
I’m the Beyonce of Business
Everything I Touch turns to sold
I’m not a one trick pony -I’ve got a whole field of ponies
Of course, if that last statement is from a horse trainer – fair play. If the second one is from a highly successful estate agent… understandable. But look, even the real Beyoncé, at a business meeting, in a business suit, discussing business, wouldn’t say something that cheesy. But let’s be honest – most of us have said some pretty dumb things under pressure in an interview.
A young lady, who shall remain nameless (for imminently obvious reasons), was asked that classic: ‘What are your three weaknesses?’ Rather than doing the SENSIBLE thing and flannelling with ‘Well, I’m too much of a perfectionist!’ and ‘I do tend to take my work home with me…’ and ‘I’ve been known to come in with flu…’ she actually told THE TRUTH. She said she was disorganised, had a tendency to be sarcastic, and struggled to get up in the morning. She didn’t get the job.*
