We were interviewing a candidate this morning for a junior programmers position. Poor lad was so nervous. He was shaking like mad, so I told him to relax and tried to lighten the mood. On asking him about his qualifications, he stated he had a degree in Economics.

When he told me this I replied, "Oh, I have a CSE in Home Economics, is that the same thing"?

I thought the poor lad was going to cry.. Interview over :o

opps!

I was interviewing a guy yesterday morning for an admin/scripting role.
I asked "Do you have any experience with domain networking?"
"... Do.. main.. Net.. wer.. king?"

"I see your last job subsidised your degree."
"No! I just took that job to pay for university!

No wonder he was upset if he's being interviewed by someone who belittle's his qualification.
