What was your worst interview?

What's your worst interview experience?

  • Mine was trying to take a sip of water but my hand was so shaky that they all saw me spill a bit. From then on I decided to keep my hands under the table no matter how thirsty I was!! I didn't get the job, by the way, but I don't think that was the reason....

  • Answer:

    I went for this interview once, and these two guys were in the office. As I entered the room, I said "Good afternoon, gentlemen". Then one of them said "That's no gentleman, that's my mother." To which I cheerfully replied "And a very handsome woman indeed, sir. You must be proud." Things kind of went downhill from there, and I didn't get the job.

When I walked into the interview and the first thing the guy said was. "You're not what we're looking for. Thank you".

Being the interviewer and having to to good cop bad cop. My other interviewer was being the bad cop and made the lady we were interviewing cry! Luckily it was an internal candidate who we both new so we managed to smooth it over and she did end up getting the job. The thing was the bad cop interviewer was the nicest bloke in the whole company so she thought he was just being a complete git!

Oh god, I had this excruciating interview once... it was seriously the most hardcore, difficult interview you can imagine (it was for a sales job) - and then the chap interviewing me said 'Right, I'm an eskimo, and I want you to sell me ice... go on, off you go.' And my mind just went utterly blank. Oh god it was awful. You know when you can just feel your face turn this horrible shade of puce. I was just stuttering like a fool, going 'er...er...well, erm, yes, er hello Mr Eskimo, can I interest you in some ice...' (god it still makes me cringe...) Actually, my teacher training interview was pretty horrible recently, I made a right idiot of myself by proclaiming that I 'loved Shakers' (by which I meant Shakespeare) and also, claiming that 'Junk' by Melvyn Burgess should be on the school syllabus, as 'drugs and underage sex was all that children did nowadays'. What a thing to say when you want to be a teacher, eh??? How I got accepted for either, I don't know!

I kept apologising because I was so nervous that I couldn't speak coherently! I also used my hands a lot while I was answering questions and 2 or 3 times I put my head in my hands because I knew I was making an absolute fool of myself! Needless to say I didn't get the job!

when i finished my training my contract wasn't renewed i applied to about 70 different companies, of which all but 1 replied. from the replies i had 1 interview, and i was so nervous that before i entered the building i threw up.
