What Was The Worst Interview You Ever Had?

Posted on 06/19/2017 2:21:22 PM PDT by Eagles Field

I Shook Hands With Hitler Reincarnation Today

And I think I saw Vincent Price peering out of the corner, quick to be out of sight hiding from me. But I saw him. Met the vacant eyes of Bela Lugosi passing in the bathroom. Eerie organ music played as I entered the doors for my interview. Had a nice conversation with a woman who’d, I imagine, takes classes in incompetency.

They’re very interested in me and want to explore the next level in the process. She mentioned a few caveats, shrugged at the facts that there were 2 meetings a day, yes, a day. You could take some breaks though ! Designated at 10:15 & 3:15, the generosity gushed. I didn’t have time to ask where the torture chamber is located.

The commandant of the internment camp was to call me later in the day, we were all in a flutter. I left a message before that happened that I was not interested. Informed her that to keep me in mind should the manager position become open to run the division, to give me a call. My first enactment would be to have 2 meetings a week maybe. Breaks would be whenever one felt they needed one, inasmuch I would hire only adults. I haven’t heard back from them yet.

Its always good on these vanities to try and be more obtuse and impenetrable. Otherwise we see right through you.

What kind of work?

What if you took the job just to file a grievance complaint against them and then settle for a large undisclosed sum?

I interviewed a woman that wore dress that simultaneously, to too low, to high, too tight and too baggy.

The dress was just translucent enough to be able to tell she wasn’t wearing any undergarments.

This was for a position in an elementary school library at a Christian school.

Did you ever work at a place where you had to sign a logbook to go to the restroom for 10-min max?

It was frowned upon because that's what your two 10-min breaks were for.

No talking allowed.

My worst by far was the day I had to disguise myself as Alex Jones and sit through an endless interview with that dimwit Megan Kelly.. Clueleess. Why does NBC put up with her?

That’s not a bad idea ! And it would give the multitude of hard-asses around here a vehicle to dispense their mis-guided aggression.

I worked for a place where I had to sign a logbook to go to the bathroom for three minutes. Not only that, but the supervisor declared that three minutes was more than enough and an extremely generous policy. This job was also extremely strict about sick days. When I called in sick for the first time in a year, I was harshly told "not to make a habit of this."

Job interview during senior year of college.

Interviewer: "What do you think is your biggest weakness?"

Me: "I'm a perfectionist. I often spend too much time trying to make things perfect."

Interviewer: "So you are saying that the reason you have only a 3.2 average is that you spend too much time trying to make things perfect?"

Me: Sigh.

I had an interview about two months ago with a large manufacturing company.

I passed the technical part - easily - then, after I had told them time and time again that I wanted to AT LEAST part-time telecommute, the manager says “The job is 8 AM to 5 PM onsite, plus 6 PM to midnight Saturday, and you WILL BE the primary on call person 24X7”

I told them no way can I work those hours. It’s not the 45 hours a week + that got me bent, it’s the commute time.

I haven’t been doing what I do for 33 years to spend my time dead-ended in traffic for two hours each way. Period.
