Outlandish performances in the interview
Folks, with layoffs mounting, gas prices surreal, mortgage defaults on the rise, the stock market in a swoon, and much of the world staggered by truly awful weather of one kind or another, we could all use a good laugh right about now. Executives at 1,000 big U.S. companies, plus 100 in Canada recalled the most embarrassing or bizarre interview moments they had witnessed or heard of. A sampling of their answers：

伙計(jì)們， 失業(yè)人數(shù)在增加，油價(jià)高得可怕，房屋抵押貸款違約現(xiàn)象在增長，股市低迷，世界很多地區(qū)遭受著不是這種就是那種相當(dāng)惡劣的氣候的影響，而我們現(xiàn)在能做的也只能是開懷大笑一下吧。1000家美國大公司外加 100 家加拿大大公司的巨頭們回憶了他們親眼所見的或聽說的讓人最囧或讓人噴飯的面試時(shí)刻。下面是他們的一些只言片語：
"The person was dancing during the interview. He kept saying things like, 'I love life!’and 'Oh, yeah!’"

“那個(gè)人在面試過程中一直在手舞足蹈，他不斷說些‘我愛生活！’和‘哦，耶！’之類的話。”

"One job applicant came in for his interview with a cockatoo on his shoulder."

“有個(gè)求職者肩膀上放著一只美冠鸚鵡就來面試了。”

"The candidate sent his sister to interview in his place."

“有個(gè)求職者讓他姐姐來替他面試。”

"The candidate stopped the interview to ask me if I had a cigarette."

“有個(gè)求職者打斷了面試，問我有沒有煙抽。”

"We had one person who walked out of an interview straight into a glass door. The glass shattered."

“我們面試過的一個(gè)人面試完之后徑直走出去撞到了玻璃門上。玻璃都碎了。”

"The candidate got his companies confused and repeatedly mentioned the strengths of a competing firm, thinking that was who he was interviewing with."

“有個(gè)求職者把面試人員說得暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向，這人不斷提到一家對(duì)手公司的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)，還以為那就是正在面試他的公司呢。”

"A guy called me by the wrong name during the entire interview."

“有個(gè)家伙在整個(gè)面試過程中都叫錯(cuò)了我的名字。”
