Job Interview Disasters (let's hear 'em)

[Danie84]

Earlier this year, I got an interview for a Marketing Assistant position for this bullshyt company called Sarder Inc. I was super nervous, because according to the site, this guy was some uber Marketing czar. So I prep myself like if I was back in school taking a final exam. As I sat in a room with a huge window overlooking Midtown landscapes, I went over the important bullet points in my head. In walks a Chinese (Korean, perhaps) girl. I thought, well this is a first. I smiled and shook her hand. As soon as the bytch opened her mouth, sweat started pouing down my back. She sounded like Ms.Swan but 10 times worse. I was taken aback. I'm like this has to be a joke. I was expecting cameras to come out on some secret got'cha candid show tip. So, the interview goes downhill right from the bat. Every question she asked took her five tries until she could complete it in a perfect sentence. I wanted to walk out so bad, but I said keep it professional. However, the interview continued to go left when I realized all the question she asked were extraneous to what the position stated and what I studied about the company. She even had a hard time reading my resume. I wanted to hadouken her straight out the huge window. Finally my misery came to the end, and the bytch ended the interview on some would you like a bottle of water, and I'll send you more info. Needless, to say I never head from those motherfukkers again

Wasting your time on a pointless job interview that leads to nowhere is the fukking worst.

when i was younger i use to go to interviews with recruiting companies because i thought it was necessary. they often will you it is after u meet them that they will forward ur resume to the company that's hiring. as a young 18/19 year old job seeker back then, u really dont have a choice. u think that's how it goes. boy, was i so fuccking stupid. those were the worst.

i live in jersey and most of the recruiting companies that called would be in the city. so id get all dressed up, hop on the bus, take the subway, walk through those busy ass crowded nyc streets, just to get to their offices.

needless to say, every one of those recruiting companies were on some BS. i wised up pretty quickly though. now, if a recruiter calls me on some "we goto meet first before i forward ur resume to the hiring company, i'll just hang up on them".

went to a interview downtown (bmore) I was impressed by the office and the basketball gym. Then I passed by the cubicles as I was walking toward the room....man I thought it was a sweat shop the way these folks look. Smelled like someone ordered Chinese...nikka there was NO Chinese food. Anyway I'm being interviewed by a panel and they asked me why I wanted to leave my company if I've been having success...for some reason I froze and just blurted out..." I need more money" lol! dude nodded and left it at that lol

man, I hate those headhunters. I used to fall for the "we gotta meet" shyt too back in the day.

nowadays if they hit me, I ask how much is it paying, and is full time work thats not a contract. if they dont tell me what I wanna hear, I make an excuse and get off the phone with them.

A few years ago while in school I had an interview with Liberty Tax for the position of tax collector over winter break. The add in the paper said no experience necessary. So I go into the interview and the lady is asking me about my experience and I tell her I have none. Interview only lasted 5 minutes. Needless to say I didn't get a call back.

A lot of them put a good job offer out there to get people's attention and then once you contact them, they want you to come in and they really try to sell you on one of their jobs that there hasn't been much interest in (far away, pays below market value, no name company, etc.)

They're trying to fill spots, they don't really care about you individually.

had an interview at General Electric's call centre when i was 18. friend told me it was really easy to get in. the lady that interviewed me had huge t*ts and she was just sitting in front of me in a low cut dress with her boobs just resting on the table. i pretty much just stared at those things the whole time while trying to process the questions and didn't get the job.

I went to the office, talked to the receptionist, she told me to wait, brought me to another office where I met some old guy with a dog in his office and gave my resume to a woman in the room (not the one I talked to before). Was told to wait again, brought into another office to talk to the woman that i just gave my resume to.

Now, I had sent my resume with an email to apply for the job. They must have thought it looked good enough to schedule an interview. but when she looked at it, she just told me I didn't have what they wanted, they were looking to hire someone with more experience or schooling. I have no idea what happened with that one.

I got an interview with the FBI here in Cleveland, shyt was the worst ever. The job was for an electronics tech to do work on some of their mobile equipment, two way radios, laptops, phones, ect.

So I pull up and before I even get out of the car there is a security officer standing outside my door asking for ID. I show him my ID and say I'm here for an interview he says "I Know" So by now I'm nervous as fukk. The security officer shows me to the interview(interrogation) room. It was a small all white room with one table and two chairs and three cameras. I sit and wait for about five minutes watching the cameras watch me back. Agent j and k walk in talmbout "hi did you find the place ok" I say yeah and they proceed with the interview. The first set of questions was fairly normal. But after that they told me about their hiring proccess, they said there would be a thorough background test, a blood test for drugs, a family history check, a lie detector test, and a credit check before I would even be considered for employment.

By now i know I'm fukked cause my credits shot,i got a rack of unpaid parking tickets, my brothers in jail right now,and I just smoked a blunt last night.

So agent k turns to me and says "we can start the process now" i say ok, knowing it's all bad from here and he proceeds to ask questions like " Have you EVER taken recreational drugs"-no "have you ever been arrested for any reason"-no "Do you believe in government"-yes. This was the preliminary test to see if i should even start the "real" testing

Needless to say I was lying through my teeth and they knew it. They end the interview I hightailed it outa there Before they arrested me or somethin. I was never called for the second interview. I was glad, if the interview was that bad being an employee must suck.

cuz in my opinion its usually a waste of time. like they are just collecting resumes. basically they want to meet with you just to determine if they wanna even set u up to meet with another company. its just an unecessary step that has NEVER gotten me a job. many times they'll try to get u to take contract work even tho your resume might say you already have a full time job currently. its just hustling backwards.

A few summers ago this recruiter got me an interview at this company cause they like my resume. The company was owned and ran by a husband and wife but the recruiter told me the husband was pretty cool. Anyhow the day of the interview it was hot as hell so i planned to put on my tie till i got close to the place and put it on in the elevator.

When i got there and i got off the floor the company was on i was still fixing my tie and i saw this fat lady and i asked her where the bathroom was at and she showed me. Then when i went in for the interview the same fat lady was there, she was the ceo's wife.

The interview was going well until like five minutes in she was like you know what your resume is nice and you seem to have some of the skills but to be honest i don't think you're qualified and you're not getting the job. i was shocked and that shyt burned and the only thing i could of said was alright, then i got up took my resume and bounced. It took me weeks to get over that shyt.
