Well, with me knowing nothing about the job, I suppose so.....Really?
Do you think you would get away with 'OK until my wrist gives up'?
Wow those questions are hideous!!!
Trying to look very precious, the people from Human Resources find ridiculous questions in the interview!
Glad you got a new job @Lee ! Hope is attractive and you enjoy it!
My brother has his own business and uses sh*** like this in his interviews.
As for my job interviews.
1, do you have a clean licence?
Yep.
2, Are you reliable?
Nope!
When can you start?
And you think I'm joking......

Well done and I hope you politely declined to answer a few of those questions. Only ever interviewed for one job, was glad I didn't get it, the guy that did lasted a week and they called me up to come and see them. No thanks, but good luck was my reply!! JIM
Well, you got that bit right matey boy, your loads keep falling over.....

Congratulations Lee.
HMP prison service board interview.(week later) Stopped the interview got up to walk out saying we'd all waisted our time but was asked to wait in the corridor, hence 2min later was offered a permanent full time position and when would I like to start............................... I said 9.45pm be ok.
All true and spent 20yrs in the controll room of HMP THE MOUNT. (Don't shop at Tesco's either)
Don't you just love a good true story.

Last interview I had before Working for the HMP was for Tesco's as a depot shunter (class 1 HGV) it went on for something like 1.5hrs and ended like this. " well we'd like to offer you the position on a zero hrs contract. We will give as much notice as possible on the availability of night time work hrs from 10.pm-6.00am, and in any case we wouldn't phone you later than 9.45 pm." I nearly fell of my seat but had to think on my feet how to tell them how much I now didn't want to work for them, so my answer was,"thank you madam I would like to accept the position but what would be your reaction on phoneing me and me saying, sorry but I'm already at work at Sainsbury's and if I was wasn't I'd probably be too p***** to attend anyway because I've been in the pub since 6.0pm" she said " oh I take it you don't want the job then. I said " did you really need to ask, why didn't you just phone me tonight at 9.45pm"

Sorry chaps have not logged on since yesterday. I'm going to a company a bit more local but its not as glamours as my previous jobs. I'll be doing a project manager roll overseeing HVAC installations, something I've done in the past. So being closer to home I would have more time to myself. I also get a company car so thats something new to experience. My start date is the 6th, scary times ahead.

Well done Lee, company car may save some miles on the Z, make you enjoy your Z on w/e's off even more, that's if your not doing any beam bushing. .............

Congrats, after your last job are you afraid it will be a bit boring?? JIM
I'd tell you to stick the job.....Nice one on the new job. One of the Q's I used to throw in was to ask the candidate to describe an Orange in one minute. After a few interviews other candidates got to hear and came prepared with the "Orange" answers so out came the apple.
Never been good at interviewing mine normally last half an hour at a push, Run out of questions to ask them...I think if I asked them some of them questions they would think I was a loony.

And there lies the issue, no advertising whatsoever with applicants as far away as South Africa and Australia. More than we could fill in a lifetime. £28k basic salary, £11.5k shift allowance, £100+pm hazardous working area money, 100 hours paid time off per year that the employer has no claim to and 2 days, 2 nights, 6 days off.
