SINGAPORE: An online survey has shown that Singapore has its fair share of unusual job-seekers whose interview antics have both baffled and amused employers.
The survey by the JobsCentral Group was conducted from August to September last year.
It involved 396 hiring managers and HR personnel.
Failing to make eye contact is the top interview peeve.
It is followed by bad posture and playing with something on the table.
The hirers also shared some of their most bizarre interview encounters.
These include the candidate doodling on his resume while talking, another singing the national anthem and refusing to stop and one that brought her mother to sit in for the interview.
Other bizarre encounters included a candidate who kept sucking his thumb before speaking and one who answered her phone mid-interview and taught her mother how to cook a dish.
