Job interview during which you realised you weren't getting the Job.

[summerisle]

I once went for an interview in Bury St. Edmunds. Due to abysmal train delays when I arrived I had to tell them I'd have to leave in five minutes otherwise I wouldn't be able to get home. Reader, I didn't get the job.

was interviewed by three people on the interviewing panel some years ago, one of them was a patronising, smirking, git

when it came to the inevitable and ridiculous question " where do you see yourself in five years"

job = just over broke

You know Chic’s… That place you go to five days a week that’s the absolute bane of your existence?
That place where you have to swallow your self-respect and dignity, because your boss that you report to is a complete and utter knobhead? You know …

Being told i was restricted to 5 minutes per answer as "We want to get out of here soon" and restricted in only talking about 1 year of my 16 years experience in the sector.

The job was already handed out before the interview and i knew it. I just went into the process to expose the sham it was.

Did you drop the hint you had two birthdays ? they may have thought you were connected to the Royal Family

I went for an interview once at a trade counter in Bootle,the interviewer spent the whole interview looking over my shoulder watching his staff on a CCTV camera this was in the days that CCTV wasnt really a thing.
The first question he asked was "have i ever been in jug"

During the credit crunch I had a job interview once to work at the jaguar factory via an agency, there was a mentsl assessment involving maths or something, than a practical one. the practical test was to wire a plug top in 5 minutes, being a spark I did it in about 45 seconds.

I didn't get the job as I couldn't follow instructions, didn't take the whole 5 minutes was the actual reason they gave me.

I got up and walked out of a group interview, when I realised the company ethics were disgusting.

I pardoned myself to the rest of the table and said 'I cant work for a company like this'.. And left!

5 minutes later received abusive phone calls from the person holding the interview session and the secretary!!

Unbelievable! My point proven though...

….the police wanted to interview me but I hadn’t even applied for a job.
