What is the most memorable thing that happened while interviewing a candidate?

[Kirchhoff-]

As interviewers, we often hear stories from the candidate's perspective.

But what about the other side of the table?

What is the most memorable, unexpected, funny, or surprising thing that happened while you were interviewing a candidate?

It could be:

• A candidate who completely changed your opinion during the interview
• An answer you still remember years later
• A technical discussion that went in a completely unexpected direction
• A funny misunderstanding
• Or simply an interview that taught you something new

Let's hear your stories.
