If they were the best available candidate, potentially yes. And I never ever said they were terrible employees. You made that up. That is your thing. You're playing your game. One statement you make is about them yawning, the other is that they yawned. One is singular, the other is plural. Big difference.
You also refuse to accept that yawning (plural) is entirely in control of the candidate because how we live our lives are in our control. Even if I was up all night I could prevent myself from yawning half a day pretty easily, if it was important to me.
But you do this time and time again, twist words, statements and definitions to make excuses for employees and criticize firms and hiring managers.
Thank you notes are hard to do sometimes as not everyone is e-mailing you the details of the interview so you may not get the e-mail address and you don't always get contact information such as last names. Partially this is so they aren't hounded by people asking about their status, why they didn't get the job, other openings, etc. It's not appropriate at all to send a thank you to the office saying "to whom it may concern," in these cases I think it is permissible to not.
That you think an interview with some HR flack is equivalent to performing brain surgery tells us everything we need to know here.
It tells us that you erroneously feel it's up to you to decide for other people. Nobody deserves to see the inside of your mouth for any amount of time. That you think people should put up with it because you don't respect them is your own deal.
Honestly, you guys are exactly where you put yourselves. It would not surprise me at all if you're unemployed or underemployed with your attitudes about employment and the employers you despise so much.
What's the difference? Whatever this business is, I'm sure its' clients want someone handling their account who's on the ball, and if they are paying they should have an alert person just as a person undergoing surgery should. I wasn't comparing the professions, I was trying to get you to see this from a different perspective, one in which to the employer, choosing the best employees for his business is as important to him as choosing the best doctor might be for you.
I wouldn't hire this person, either. If they told me "I yawn so much because I get migraines and I don't sleep", as an employer I'd be thinking "this is someone who will be tired when he is here, and who will probably call out more than average". Why do you think an employer should take a chance on someone like this when there are so many qualified people out there who CAN stay awake? It's utterly ridiculous to say someone's on a power trip because they want the best employees working for them.

Are you kidding me?
If you don't have enough initiative to write down the name of the interviewer and get his or her business card, then you really don't deserve the job in the first place.

You abt like they hand out business cards like candy. Not every one does, what do you do in that case?
