This is a question Job Interview Disasters

The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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.

"Ok, sorry I'm a bit late, but I'm very busy. We've still got ten minutes, I don't know anything about interviews, that's not my job, just talk about yourself for a bit."
This is how the interviewer started the interview. Then she folded her arms and scowled at me.
It was for a management position and I'd spent a couple of days preparing.
I didn't get the job, but I didn't really care.

That sounds like a pretty good approach, just to see how you cope.

It probably wasn't a test - if it was then she was an amazing actor.
If anyone still felt like having her as their line manager after that interview then they must've been pretty desperate. It was already a difficult job with crap pay.
