Interviewing for position

awmllc2000 · Aug 7, 2013

Every since I returned from the WSOP I have been conducting interviews for a account manager at my brokerage firm. Basically a real estate agent that would handle all of my REO's from a certain lending institution, or two. I'm convinced the 20 something potential workforce are some of the oddest, most socially awkward, dumb species on this planet. I have interviewed 30+ potential employees in the last 30-45 days. Yesterday took the cake though.

White kid, 27 years old shows up in a Chevy cavalier with a "racing" wing, exhaust, hood scoop etc... Kid parks directly in front of my office. This is a no parking zone, clearly overly marked. Sagging Dickie pants, a plaid Rocawear button up hanging out. And DC tennis shoes. The kid introduces himself as "Kenny, you can call me big K, thats what ny boys call me." Mind you, "Big K" is 100 lbs soaking wet. This kid proceeds to tell me he is just looking for a "gig" until his album "hits the streets." He then asks "what chall be payin round here." I was convinced this was a joke, until he called today "I'm just followin up on that gig"

Ill post some others soon. I'm officially scared for the states!

Too funny. How some folks get the jobs they have is beyond me. With that said, when you're ready to stop interviewing and hire someone, Holla at cha Boi right chere, ya dig!?! My album already dropped, so you will have my undivided attention...

Hehe...all jokes aside, I really would be interested. But, since I'm not from there, I really would need to know, "what chall be paying round dare?"

Hilarious. I am interviewing for a new position and can share some horror stories about potential employers. One wants me to make phone calls and listen in; insulting after doing it for 12 years. These online tests are the best though. One question was if I would go out of my way to be seen with a celebrity. Ummm...no if Heidi Klum walks by I will just ignore her. Bunch of suit dummies.

Meet Anna. Anna is a 25 year old black girl that had worked for 4 years at my biggest competitor. Anna has sold plenty of my properties previously as a buyers agent. I had met Anna numerous times at closings. I was surprised to see she didn't work at company A any longer. I scheduled the interview 2-3 days earlier. I happened to run into broker A the morning of our interview. We aren't the best of friends, but can be professional when need be. I informed him that Anna was interviewing and tried to pry a bit. I was greeted with a funny smirk and a laugh.

Anna calls the morning of the interview to ask what time our appointment was...hmmm, odd but ill give the benefit of doubt. Anna then shows up exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes late. When I asked her what happened I was told " you said 2PM" I said " no I told you 1PM but regardless it is 2:15, so you would be late anyways." She says "yeah but only 15 minutes late, that isn't too bad." I went ahead with the interview. When asked why she left company A, I was told " well, in 2011 I had 2 nervous breakdowns and another in 2012. I'm not sure if you have had one, but they take weeks to recover from. I never took more than 2 weeks to return to work and they fired me." She then asked " how high pressured is this position? Because my doctor thinks I should take a less pressured position."

All I can say is WOW!

Meet Kylie. Kylee is a 22 year old white girl that proves that valley girls still do exist. Kylie answers all questions with the first word out of her mouth always being the same. "Like, yes" "like, no sir" " like absolutely" " like, I'm a real likable person"

Like leave my office, like now!

MattyMatt · Aug 7, 2013

Geez!!! Have you had one even close to pulling the trigger on yet?

Meet Brandon. Brandon is a 27 year old white guy. Brandon's resume read like a all-star realtor. Brandon claimed to be salesman of the year for 2 years in a row in our local board of realtors. Problem is, Brandon doesn't hold a realtors license. Brandon has never worked in the industry. Did this guy really believe a local broker wouldn't realize he never heard of him, has never closed a deal with him. Did he realize how easy it is to check up on him.

I decided to call Brandon in for a good laugh. I grilled Brandon and exposed how dumb he was and how little industry knowledge he had. Brandon asked to use the restroom in the middle of the interview, he ran out the door.

I had one girl that was absolutely amazing. She had tons of industry knowledge and interviewed like a champ. She had worked for 7 years I'm the industry in Florida. I called her ex broker and was informed she lost her license in Florida due to 2 felony theft charges.

funny you mention Unk. Unk is coming up to stay at the house this weekend. His new "fiancé" or as he called it, his "finansay" is coming with him. Unk has had 4-5 finansays in the last 4 years or so. Unk doesn't date...he goes right past it to finansay. They regularly break up within months. I can't wait to meet this southern princess. He claims "she's hawt as a toads ass" apparently a toads ass is amazingly beautiful.

Oops...did she call back for a check-in to see if you had figured that out? Glad you found out sooner than later.

I called her. I would have found out though. My local board of realtors would have denied her.
