Below are three stories about interview experiences, however, one of them is a lie. Can you detect which ones are real and which one we made up?

Story #1: I walked into an interview and the hiring manager looked me up and down with an unapproving face the second I walked in the room. We proceeded with the interview and I thought it went well, but then at the end she told me my outfit was unprofessional and I never heard from her again. My outfit was something I had worn to other professional interviews, so I guess she just didn’t like my style.

Story #2: In the middle of a job interview, someone came in and told my interviewer that she needed to take a call. She picks up, and over the next 30 seconds she went from all-business, to horror, to breaking down in sobs and crying. Then she was helped from the room, with me sitting there wondering what the heck just happened. It turned out, that it was her doctor calling, to tell her that her husband had just died of a massive heart attack.

Story #3: Following an hour of good conversation, as I was leaving and shaking hands with the executive who interviewed me, he thanked me for my time. He then asked me to “please send me your astrological sign along with your salary requests and three references.” At first, I thought I misheard the request but he then explained that in the past the company would request a graphology report. After graphology test results have proven to be inconclusive, he requests the astrological signs of each candidate to determine if the perspective candidate will be a good match with the other staff members.
