Can’t Handle A Handover
(We are currently hiring for a large number of open positions, so we will take interviews from pretty much anyone. I am calling a job applicant.)
Applicant: “My roommate is looking for a job, as well; can I refer her to you?”
Me: “That would be great, actually! Can I have her phone number and name?”
Applicant: “Her name is [Roommate], and this is our landline; you can reach her at this number.”
Me: “All right. When would be a good time to reach her?”
Applicant: “She is standing here with me, right now. After we are done, just call back and she will pick up.”
Me: *pause* “Would it be possible for you to hand her the phone?”
