Meet our craziest interview contest winner! Greyson, you made us laugh and cringe with your job interview story. Congrats!
I was being interviewed for a good position as an EMT out in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Keep in mind, I’m a city guy. I drove up to this big pole building of an ambulance service, parked my tiny car amongst all the trucks and walked inside. As I was walking inside I noticed the place to be very professional, like a mock up of what an office in NYC would look like. So I proceeded to a conference room to wait. After a few minutes of waiting this very sharply dressed man walks in, he was wearing a suit and tie that smelled like money. He had perfect hair, perfect teeth, and a very calm demeanor. So I stood to greet the man and he reaches over to me and pulls me in for a hug! I was as confused as to whether I should really hug him, but like I said it was a great position. I heard something in my ear that really confused me. He was smelling me. 100% this guy was smelling me. I just kinda let it happen. I had no idea what was going on but I just thought “benefits, great salary”. After the wonderful embrace he walks to the opposite side of the table and starts asking all the usual questions. It was like he turned off the love to go back to the professional attitude. So confusing. Nearing the end of the interview he asks me some personal questions, my interests, family, easy stuff. I mentioned getting into EMS because both of my brothers are drug addicts and I wanted to be able to take care of them. He grabbed my hand from across the table and held it. I was like…”Are you kidding me?” He just had this look on his face like “tell me everything” I considered crying to get the job but I figured that would be way to over the top. As the interview had ended I stood up to exit the room first and he just gives me a quick shoulder hug and says “Thanks for coming, I think you’ll fit in just fine here” Turns out the guy is married now but is also a recent divorcee and since that he has been a very “share your emotions” kinda guy. I did get the job but I eventually left it, I had family obligations. It by far was the weirdest interview ever. I tell everyone about it. - Greyson V.
