I heard this joke the other day and it brought back memories

Job Application

Two young engineers applied for a single position at a computer company. They both had the same qualifications. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a test by the department manager. Upon completion of the test, both men had each missed only one of the questions. The manager went to the first applicant and said, ''Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the job to the other applicant.'' "And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct," asked the rejected applicant.

"We have based our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed," said the department manager.

"And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?" the rejected applicant inquired. "Simple," said the department manager, "Your fellow applicant put down on question #7, 'I don't know.' You put down, 'Neither do I.'"

Real Life Experiences

When I worked at Burger King, I loved to read people's applications. There would be the normal spelling mistakes like spelling their highschool name wrong or even their lastname. You have people put down favorite activities including smoking, partying, hanging out with friends. Then you have other people put down references of their best friends who have been fired the week before. And my favorite thing asked on the application is the question: How did you hear about this job? Normal answers are like: "A person refered me", "I saw the sign out front", "I saw the ad in the paper". Then you get the answers like these: "My parents are forcing me to a job", "I like to eat here", "You have good food", "I like food", or even "It looks easy".
