For Pam Webster, it was one of her most memorable interviews with a job candidate _ and not in a good way.

The candidate was applying for a management trainee's job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

He came to his interview with Webster, Enterprise's Southern California recruiting manager, with a Slurpee in hand.

"He slurped along during the entire interview," she recalled.

Or how about the time another management-trainee candidate's cell phone rang during a job interview and he left to take the call _ and then returned 20 minutes later to continue the interview.

"It just seems he was not really serious," Webster said.
