Unoriginal, I wrote about this on another discussion, last year or something, sorry for being repetitive and boring, but I still laugh about it... so in the spirit of not being a lurker and following my own advice from earlier on today... here goes

------------------------------

I have been interviewing day in day out for over 12 years now (yes i am tired), however last year something happened in an interview which has never happened before. Now let me say this, I have experienced many things in an interview, the weird, the wonderful and the occaisional t hing that just leaves you scratching your head.

This one however really took my breath away, literally almost. Now I've had people swear, cry, laugh, burp, make phone calls, leave the room so full of BO that we quarantined it off for over an hour. This person, took the cake however. Mid way through our interview, in a fairly serious moment, this person's body decided it was time to expel some excess air, no he didn't burp. Now this was loud, extremely audiable, in so much as the receptionist asked me a question about this "noise" after the interview. My candidate continued on like nothing had happened, no smirk, no "oops" or excuse me... nothing. (There was no dog to kick or blame in the interview room I'm afraid)

I am rarely lost for words or breath but this one stumped me.
