Job InterviewsIf it's not the "where do you see yourself in five years time" question, it's the trick questions they throw at you to make them feel superior. Tell us about your worst job interview and the most unsuited candidates you've seen. BTW: Please don't use the question board to send messages to each other. It makes the whole thing unreadable for everyone else.

Run Away!Several years ago, when you could still get IT jobs with no experience, I went for an interview at the local cable shopping channel. The building had burned down 3 months previously and the operation was in portakabins. Interviewed by the IT director and the HR manager. Job spec was the usual "do everything, do it right, and do it yesterday".
After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, the HR manager left the room, whereupon the IT guy leaned forward and whispered "I should go now, before your life follows mine down the shitter".
Five years later, I'm driving HGVs for double what they paid for an 80 hour week.
