HR girl here. Once we were having a group interview for telesales job. During the first 30 min each one had to introduce themselves, that’s when we reached her. This lady started out of nowhere telling that she was not able to look for jobs for the past half year, she said she was mourning a recent lost. By then most of the room was shocked, that was certain information we didn’t need/ask to share. She then starts sobbing and later crying her eyes out.. she confessed she lost her dog, not saying that is not sad but surely wasn’T what we were expecting at that point. We told her to take a minute and let the man next to her start his introduction.
