Yeah... it was a bizarre interview. He really didn't seem to want the job at all, so I'm not sure why he bothered showing up for it.
On a positive note, my next interview was awesome. The girl was competent, could speak and understand English (She was from India), polite, and even managed a smile here and there when she didn't look so nervous she'd like to vomit (I hate interviews, too, so I understand that!). I'm pretty sure I'm going to hire her over the last interview I have on Wednesday, simply because I'm not confident of the last interviewee's English skills.
*phew* Such a pain in the ass! Then, once I hire them, I get to train them! Woo!
Yikes, what a weirdo! Clearly he hired someone to write his resume for him, or simply copied and pasted stuff that sounded good from the internet.
I once had to pre-interview a lady whose resume was amazing. She sounded like she could teach me a thing or two, even. I sat her down to use the software she claimed she had been using for the past ten years... and she didn't know how to use it. Was clearly guessing, fumbling as she went along, trying to find stuff. She seemed pretty embarassed. I wasn't sympathetic, that's what happens when you lie on your resume. Who knows how much of it was true, or not?
I'm pretty sure he had SAIT write his resume for him. The English on it was near-perfect and he struggled to understand anything we said to him and could barely communicate back to us through his bizarrely thick Russian accent
