I never told you this, but the reason you didn't get the job is...

You informed me that you have narcolepsy, even though it's "totally under control with medication".

3. You wanted to high-five me for having a hot husband.
4. You lacked initiative. When I asked what you'd do to fill a full day, all you could say was "Whatever you want me to."
5. When I asked you to wash your hands before I gave you the baby, you wiped them on your jeans as you replied "Oh, my hands are clean."
6. You asked about benefits. Right away. In detail.

You win.

A bit overly judgmental. Maybe try being less uptight.

FYI - People sometimes need to pick wedgies, and sometimes think no one is looking. Cannot believe you listed that as one of the reasons for a no hire. lol

You told me you hoped to have children of your own. Sorry but I'm looking for a long term nanny, if this isn't going to be your main focus we won't work out.

You want your family to be the main focus of someone's life?
Good lord.

Yay for women's rights and keep your mouth shut.

Because you took some sort of prescription pill DURING our 30 minute interview. Whatever was wrong with you that you needed your medication during a 30 minute job interview I did't want to know!

Workaholic parent that expects nanny to do the actual parenting. Sad.

+1 And the potential candidate did it twice during a 30 minute interview. She was very quick about it and just took out her phone and glanced at the text but it told me that either her life was too complicated for me (had a sick relative or a young child) or she was addicted to the phone. I am an older mother (42) who didn't grow up with phones attached to my hand 24/7 so I don't get the addiction/need to be in constant contact with anyone.

+1,000,000 She was the best candidate too. But if she can't turn off her phone for an interview, she would be on it CONSTANTLY when she was with my child.

Your top was too low-cut for a job interview. Who were you trying to impress?

Hahaha love this

# 3. Really? I could never do that. So crazy!

Because in all honesty I have to admit, you are a lot prettier than I had anticipated and the idea of you alone with my husband in my home even on occasion, just doesn't sit well with my insecurity.

Plus, you and him got along really great during the interview I noticed.

Hire an older nanny and only interview older nannies. I think they are generally the best anyway but you absolutely don't get the possible pregnancy issue.

... you didn't graduate from college. I stated in the ad that I required a college degree so why did you waste both of our time?
