what was your worst job interview

lee604 · 17th June 2004, 05:56 PM

yeah i got turned down for one because the way i dress (emo style btw) and my lip ring didnt help, but thats not the point.

Venkman · 17th June 2004, 06:03 PM

None. Every interview i've ever attended Ive been offered the job. Peice of piss!

Rich · 17th June 2004, 06:05 PM

Haha.

"I'm sorry, we don't let emo pussies work here."

I had one yesterday. I almost came out with the line "don't worry, I don't have a thing for prisons or anything,"

Another one recently, this scary agency woman made me want to cul up +cry. That wasn't very nice.

I once claimed at an interview "i know everything and i'm always right" and the dumb fat fuk still offered me the job.

lee604 · 17th June 2004, 06:14 PM

thats quality man i would of asked you some question youcouldnt possibly no the answer to like "fine then, how old is my mum?"

Venkman · 17th June 2004, 06:26 PM

and i would reply "oh you havent heard then? perhaps you should be asking me is how old WAS your mum?

I suppose I've been lucky, every job i've been interviewed fora has offered me the job

samuraisloth · 18th June 2004, 09:24 AM

yeah i have always been offered a job i went for, however the worst job interview, in my opinion, was for my current job...i look back and cringe

When i had to go to my interview for university (glasgow) the people started asking me what the differet layers of a tooth were. I had no idea and felt like saying "thats kind of why i want to go to uni, i was hoping you'd teach me that" i felt so stupid, they just kept asking me all these procedures
also interviews for MGt, the call centre where i work, are ridiculous. You have to tell the person next to you whats nice about their appearance, and try to sell a foreign holiday. Then add up some sums

Sorry if im making a ridicolous suggestion here.. but maybe its not the best idea to go for an interview with a hoop in your lip?

You either want a job, or wanna look 'cool' dont think you can have both....

Your self proclaimed 'emo dress style' also made me laugh rather sneerily.

ive had the same job since i was 15, and i didnt even get an interview, my mums the manager, so i just started 1day... i dunno if thats a good or bad thing :S

humndislocation · 19th June 2004, 03:26 PM

I've got the job for every interview I've been to, but I've only had two jobs, including my current one. I didn't get a job until I left uni.

It's weird, I'm normally really quiet and shy, and find it hard to make conversation with people I don't know unless I've got a drink in me. But for some odd reason when I'm in a job interview, something just switches, and I come across being really confident, and find it really easy to find things to say. I've no idea why this happens, but it's a pretty useful quirk to my personality!

I think it must be something to do with the fact I'm competing with several others for the job, or that I really have to show my good side or something. It just brings something out in me.
