The cat’s out of the bag.

It’s Interviewing 101:  Turn your cell phone off. But occasionally you’ll encounter a candidate who missed that memo and takes a call on your time.  And it never fails – those are the people who have their ringtone set to sound like their pet, an annoying celebrity sound bite or an obnoxious song clip.

At Dice, we help you connect with the talented tech pros you want, and weed out the ones you don’t.

In HR and recruiting, you have the BEST stories. You’ve lived through them to tell the tales (anonymously, of course!) We simply put them on paper for others to empathize – and enjoy a little hiring humor.

Post a comment below to tell your tale of being rudely interrupted by an inappropriate ringtone.
