Job Interview Horror Stories!

You’re Related to Who?
It’s never a good idea to badmouth your old boss, no matter how much you disliked him or how intensely you feel that she should have been the subordinate, not you. This applicant spent the length of their interview bellyaching about their former boss totally unaware of their interviewer’s relation to their aforementioned boss. They even had the same last name!

Sore Loser
This interviewee refused to leave his chair unless he was given the position. Eventually police were called in to the scene to remove the applicant.

Make Yourself at Home
Most people would agree that on a job interview they tend to feel a bit uptight and constrained however this woman showed no signs of tension as she proceeded to make her self at home by removing her socks and placing them on her interviewer’s desk claiming she was “too hot”.

The Literalist
When feeling nervous and under pressure its understandable to give one or two silly answers lacking forethought. When asked what person they would most like to meet, living or dead this applicant replied with “the living one”.

Spit it Out
It’s probably for the best to spit out that piece of Winterfresh before beginning an interview to keep clear of appearing ill-mannered or to avoid what happened to Yolanda Evans from Project Performance Corporation who had a piece of gum spewed into her face by an anxious interviewee.

Don’t Let the Door Hit You On the Way Out
A final impression is just as important as the first. This applicant made a memorable one when he got up to leave the interview and walked into a glass door shattering it to pieces.
