Hiring someone is a process in which you try to get a good number of hopefully relevant applications, and then go through several stages of whittling down the pool of applicants, where each subsequent pass takes more effort/time. By the time you get to the face-to-face interview, there should be only a handful of applicants left…and you are spending enough time on each one to get to see just how crazy some people are.
Interview A: “So why do you want this job?” “I want money.” “What do you think is the worst part of caring for a baby?” “When they cry.” “…Let me show you the door.”
Interview B: “How do you feel about holding the infant?” “Babies have to learn to be self sufficient without being held all the time. So you should let them scream.” “You aren’t touching my baby.”
Interview C: (Interviewee shows up 10 minutes late.) “Cough cough cough cough! I can’t breathe!” “Do you like my perfume?” “Someone open a window! Cough cough!”
Q&A that whittled applicants out before the interview stage:
a) Do you have childcare experience? “Nope, but I have two dogs!”
b) The ad said we’re looking for people that can work on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays. When are you free? “I know, I know, but I can work all Saturday, is that good enough?”

Oh man.
Yeah, being on the hiring side has made me have an inflated sense of my own employability.

Reading Rumpus’ Interview B reminded me of the classic Simpsons bit from the Ayn Rand School for Tots.
Teacher: Mrs. Simpson, do you know what a baby is saying when she reaches for her bottle?
Marge: …Ba-ba?
Teacher: She’s saying, “I AM A LEECH!”
Well, it made me laugh, anyway.

Oh man… not sure whether to laugh or cry there given the current election season.
