Strangest person you have interviewed ?

[whitesocks]

There have been threads on here about Job interviews you have gone to that have gone bad/ Not as you expected them to be.

But how about from the opposite side of the coin? So employers, what is the strangest person you have interviewed that has come to you for a job?

We were recruiting a team of people to work on a five month field project in East Sussex. Selected 10 for interviews - all with excellent CVs and suitable experience.

One lady turned up for her interview. Ran through the usual opening spiel. Asked her a question and she said nothing - absolutely nothing! Asked her another - again, nothing. I asked her if she was alright.....nothing. Just stared at me and my colleague. I double checked her CV to see if she was deaf or foreign - but no. I explained that an interview was a two-way thing and invited her to contribute something, anything. But she just stared at us. I asked if she was unwell, nervous...nothing!

I wrapped up the interview explaining that the job was public engagement so speaking was sort of a pre-requisite skill. She left and that was that.

Oddest interview I've ever been involved with!

That is rather bizare. Maybe she did have some kind of disability that Was'nt disclosed?
