The (unintentionally hilarious) human condition

Those of us who work with people in the employment sphere like our work for a number of reasons.

On the altruistic side, we can help people achieve higher levels of self-actualization. Simultaneously, we can help companies grow by improving their talent population.

We have also learned a very challenging lesson: people are the only product which can talk itself out of the sale.

If you deal with people and employment for any length of time, you have some delightful "horror" stories to share with other recruiting or human resources professionals. Like the 20 email string where a candidate maintains they have the degree from a fictitious university.

Sorry, saving that for the memoirs.

Well, here is a delightful compendium of people at their simultaneous best and worst. Enjoy!
