The author recently had an opportunity to speak with an individual who works in Talent acquisition for a major software firm. She relays this story:
An applicant shows up for a job interview with his mother in tow. Yes, his mother. What's worse, she answers all the interview questions for them. The youth, about 24 years of age, simply hides behind his resume the entire time. Even when the interviewer asked a direct question, saying, "now this one will be for the applicant," the mom would answer for him.
Needless to say, this applicant did not get offered a job.
