Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

Me.The missus was working and couldn't get time off since it was school holidays.
Between making my kid come with me to an interview (a situation I had appraised the interviewers of and been told it was ok and that they were all about being family friendly) and making her accompany her mum to look after old people with dementia in their own homes (which is probably a sackable offence for the missus) I chose the former.
The interview went really well, they offered me the job, my daughter sat quietly and patiently reading her book as we conducted the interview (to the point that both of the interviewers complemented her behaviour) and then they told me they wanted me to start immediately (school hols remember) and that they wanted me for a 38 hr. week. Despite the fact that the newspaper and online ads had stipulated an 18 hr. week with flexible hours.
She said to me afterwards - "Wow Dad, you were really polite to them since you seemed so annoyed."
