Unadmirable Honesty

Interviewing at my company is a grueling process filled with phone interviews, group presentation and interview, and one-on-one interviews. One of the one-on-one interviews is usually a behavioral interview. You know the kind, "If two people you worked with were having an argument about something what would you do?" or "When you start a project, walk me through the steps you take to make sure that you are successful." Most candidates will pass the behavioral part fairly easily since the phone interview should have weeded out most of the duds. That's why it was so amusing when one managed to slip through.
