Entertaining Job Interview Stories

Preparing for a job interview is more fun if you hear a good story that either drives home a point, or makes you laugh. After all, putting together your job interview presentation is about as much fun as root canal work.

Throughout my Job Interview Wisdom website I have shared numerous true stories and situations to lighten things up a bit.

Listed below is an index of a few of my favorites. I have dozens more to share with you, but for now, you'll have to read my site.

I would love to hear your stories. Please share below. I need a good laugh or a lesson to be learned.
