Spoiler

LOL this is probably one of the funniest videos I've ever watched.

"Oh yeah he bought the shoes"

"So are you going to let me know"

- LMAO I died at these parts.

Q: Do you guys think the interviewer/hiring manager overreacted?

I personally think he did. Sure, he's busy looking for excellent employees for his company and that there are other applicants out there who would want to be in this stage of the application (the interview), but the dude needs to chill a little and have a laugh. He has a point (that this is a waste of time for him) but I think he's being too serious about it. I guess that's what makes the whole prank funny, IMO.

I would feel extremely uncomfortable doing such a thing.


- I see that you go to university here?

''That's kinda bull. I don't even go to school.'' Lol

But the interviewer made a huge point though. Something as serious and potentially life altering (for the better) is being mocked with this prank. People do anything nowadays for fame and laughs. Especially the fame.

[Decimo Blaze]

I'd rather have done this for plenty of interviews than actually preparing and not getting the job.

''So like.. Are you gonna let me know?'' Lmaooooooo. :leaf:

 

[~Ethereal~]

Interviewer shouldnt have been so mad. This is probably the most interesting thing he's gonna see all week.

 

[Hexuze]

I've never applied for a job or worked. Is it that hard to get one?

 

[Punk Hazard]

He didn't overreact. Dude has an office/desk job, most people hate it. Shit, I'd hate it too if I was stuck in a 9-5 like this and someone showed up and wasted my time.

 

[Trúth]

"My weakness is my probably my calves." LMAO I can't. XD

 

[DoubleKamui]

Eh, it's fake.

What makes you say the prank is set up by the interviewer and interviewee? Seems pretty real to me.

 

[TRE MERCER]

Half of these pranks are fake try this in rl and see will you get the job. ​

 

[Bronze]

Wish the interviewer smacked him for childish prank.

 

[Insidious Smile]

Who goes to a job interview and act like a complete moron? Man, if I was that bald dude I would have kicked his ass out the room.

 

[Complex]

God my stomach hurts from laughing too hard

No, but a lot of the time it is up to luck. There's a set amount of things you can say to try to stand out to someone you never met. Most of the time it's determined by some inside factor you cannot reasonably determine.

Sometimes, they just don't like the way you look. Sometimes you give a unique and unconventional but practical response and they love it, while to a different interviewer they may just want a cookie cutter response.

Assuming you make the all of the 'correct' answers, it's still 100% up to the interviewer. So it's not difficult, so much as it is random. Especially for your first job. Having a connection removes much of this random factor and is advised.

"You see my bag on the shelf, there's a camera over there". LOLOL! I completely lost it, and the interviewer's reaction was hilarious. And so was the "strengths and weaknesses" thing.
