How the receptionist and everyone looks at you once you enter the building, like they are thinking "here comes another one, poor guy doesn't know what he's getting himself into"

One time I mentioned something like that as an ice breaker to the receptionist and she said, you guys are all the same ha ha, you all show up 20 minutes early in a full suit asking me questions about company culture.
Other than the few interviews where we discussed my skills and abilities every single thing...
I hate having HR bimbos asking me stupid tell me about a time... questions, I hate the shallowness, I hate how some jerks come to an interview to tear people apart and pat themself on the back with self delusion at having saved the company from a bad hire, I hate how they demand salary history so they can lowball you, I hate how the stretch them out all day or even multiple days and have everyone including the night janitor and UPS guy interview you, I hate how they smile and tell you they will inform you of their decision next week and you know they are lying snakes because they never do, I hate the bigotry against the unemployed, the credit checks, I hate having to ask for a favor from others to act as a reference, I hate the redundant applications, I hate how noone even reads my resume until after the interview begins I hate those HR Quackery psyche tests and whatever else they are empowered to inflict upon candidates.
Personal questions, and those bordering on discrimination.
1. Are you married?
2. Do you have kids?
3. What do you like to do in your free time-post about idiots like you on CD that are a lawsuit waiting to happen, but continue on please.
What I dislike the most during an interview is the infamous question:
What is the one thing you can improve on?
I mean, what are you supposed to answer? Anything you mention can kill your chance at the position you're interviewing for. I find this question so absurd.
The next thing I dislike at an interview is being interviewed by two or more people at the same time. It's like an interrogation. There's ALWAYS one interviewer that tries to be the company Goody-Two shoes and tries to flex his or her muscle to the other interviewers with the hope of gaining points. Get out of here.
-Cheers.
I'm with you, I soooo agree about the "improve on" question. During the phone interview for my current position the dreaded question was asked and I answered "I would like to improve my phone interview skills", the interviewer cracked up and put me through to the second interview.

Don't forget showing up 15-20 minutes early and then they leave you hanging in the lobby and when after waiting so damn long you power up your device only to have them walk out and think you are unprofessional.
