Anyone heard any good stories about university interviews? Here's a couple I've seen:
When the candidate arrived in the interview room, the tutor was reading a newspaper. As the candidate enters, the tutor looks up from the paper and asks the candidate to "entertain him". At this point the candidate whips out his lighter and sets fire to the newspaper.
During an engineering interview the candidate is given a brick by the interviewer and told to throw it through the window. The candidate is unsure whether or not to break the window and hesitates, and the tutor again tells him to throw the brick through the window. The candidate tells the tutor he doesn’t want to break the window - at this point the tutor takes the brick from the candidates hand, opens the window and tosses the brick through the open window.
