Biggest interview f*ck up?

[Parky]

Trying to be cool at an interview a few years back I lent back on one of those spongy chairs and went straight over. 

 

Kinda hard to look responsible and reliable after that.

I once refered to the generation above me as 'the wisdom bracket' and then immediately started pissing myself laughing at how funny it was/how much of a cock it made me sound.

My first ever interview:

 

Him: "I see you like learning languages, would you say you were pretty advanced?"

Me: "Yeah, like to think I'm pretty good"

Him: "*says spanish sentance*"

Me:

Had an interview at Garland's Call Centres. 

 

Got the job.

 

Hell of a fuck up.

Got the job.

 

Hell of a fuck up.

 

And then I done the same and got the pleasure of working with you.

[Pilko]

The bloke asked me where I saw myself in a years time, I said "working here". He said that sounded very arrogant. I didn't get the job.

[S.S.R.]

When Renton gave me a little dab of speed to calm my nerves.

For the job I have now, I went into the interview having done a bit of reading up on what being a surveyor actually involves. My interviewer asked if I knew what the role was about so I reeled off a load of spiel about what a land surveyor does.

 

I was being interviewed for the role of quantity surveyor.

[Ashley17]

Got asked to draw up the headings to a profit and loss account on a flipchart, and forgot tax

 

Still got the job though, somehow.

[Pilko]

Oh and I did call the bloke in that interview I mentioned earlier "Mr Breen", that doesn't sound so bad, except his name was "Mr Andrews"

Said the word 'cunt' over a telephone interview once. Didn't even realise I'd said it, so I continued talking myself up.

 

She interrupts: "Erm... I'm sorry, I don't think this is going to work out."

 

Me: "What? What's wrong?"

 

She: "You said the 'c' word a few minutes ago."

 

Me: "What?" (laughing nervously) "Noooo. No I didn't!"

 

She: "Yes. Yes you did. I'm sorry, we cannot put up with that here. Have a good day."

 

Me:

 

And I still can't remember if I'd actually said it or not. Still think the cunt was lying.

Try working for a company that has anything whatsoever to do with construction and you'll fit right in.

Heard people laughing in the background once on a telephone int. Probably put me on speakerphone the bastards.

I've never had an interview, got hired straight up at Woolworths... it closed a month or so later. I'm pretty sure I know what my first interview will be (hopefully) and I'm pretty certain it will be scary as shit and I'll fuck it up.

Got interviewed for a teaching post and they'd dragged a token Parent Governors in to ask a question. She basically outlined a hypothetical scenario involving a disruptive kid and asked me what I would have dealt with it. I answered and she had the fucking audacity to tell me what she would have done. I tried to be polite but after a couple of exchanges I lost it a bit and said she didn't know what she was talking about because she'd never even done the job I was going for.

 

Didn't get it like.

She nearly got a chair round her fucking head tbh. Stupid bitch.

haven't really had many interviews, but I went to a group interview for Waitrose about a year ago.  Part of it was to get into groups and act out an advert for a particular product.

 

Anyway, we got some sort of strange, posh looking jam to advertise, and I started moaning to the other people in my group, saying "who the hell would buy this anyway?  It looks awful!".  Unknown to me, one of the interviewers was stood behind listening in.  I got pretty scornful looks for the rest of the interview, however I did get invited back for the one-on-one interview.  Never got a job there though.

Did Dave really edit the word "f***" to "f*ck" in the thread title? THAT is the important question!

[Chrissy Bee]

I think it originally said fuck but people who have the swear filter on just saw it as f*** and their replies reflect that.
