A recent report from an executive search firm list some wacky job candidate demands and actions--from faking a British accent to demanding a corporate jet for interview travel. We want to know from IT manager and CIOs what unique things candidates have done, said, or asked for during job interviews for an upcoming story!

Someone once told me, just out of the blue, "I don't have a drinking problem anymore. I only drink at nights and on weekends."

Oooooooooookay.

I was interviewing someone and they asked if they had to take a drug test. I replied Yes because that was the company policy. I wouldn't have thought anymore about it but then this individual said they smoked marijuana every day and it didn't impact their job performance! Needless to say this person's candor didn't get them a job.

She REALLY wanted the job.

If anyone wonders NO I did not and NO she didn't get the position.
