Most Ridiculous Thing Seen on a Job Application

Didn't happen to me but a friend of the SO, but so out there it had to be told to the masses. The first question on the application was 'What colour is your aura?'  :open_mouth: :rofl:
How high or how much of a hipster do you have to be to figure that is a relevant question?
Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.


Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    It's "color", not colour. How high are you?

    I'd have answered that with "yes".

    Let those fuckers figure out a stupid answer to a stupid question themselves.

    I would have answered "as black as Satan's cloak and as shriveled as your intellect".

    That'd take care of that pesky job, I bet.

    Not on the application but a peer told me recently that they had an idiot bring his mother in with him for his interview.

    She said that after she was able to push the laughter down deep enough to maintain a level of professionalism that she ended the interview.

    I would rather discuss my aura than have my mommy come to an interview with me. 
    (I would offer up something awesome and nonsensical like a piece of In The Beginning from S.A.T.D.:  "In the dusts of hell lurked the blackest of hates, For he whom you fear awaits you")

    WTF is this world coming to?

    well see if one is applying to be a missionary, it makes total sense to inquire about his or her aura. I don't understand what you are all going on about.

    Years ago I had a young guy apply for a cashier position at the restaurant I worked for. He actually wrote on his application that he was fired from his last job because his manager caught him pissing on the dumpster out back.

    At one of my previous jobs a former employee put in an application to be re-hired, after the job she left for went out of business.  On the section where you listed previous employment, obviously she listed the current place for which she was re-applying.  Under "reason for leaving" she wrote "poor working conditions."

    They still hired her back.

    You're being screened for a position as an involuntary organ donor. Don't take it.
