How not to start an interview.
I work in the NHS. We get student nurses through regularly. Some are great, most are fine, a few are crap. Sue was crap. Partly it was a personality clash (it was mutual), mainly it was her stupidity. An example, she asks me if I want a cuppa. " yes please, white no sugar" . She returns with my tea, with sugar in. "Oh Sue, you've given me the wrong one, this has sugar in" "no, I know you said you didn't want sugar, but the list in the kitchen says you do, so I gave you one". WTF?

Anyway, time passes. I'm interviewing with a colleague for a staff nurse job. I look at the list of candidates and see her name. "Christ Sue, can't stand her. But let's be professional. Maybe she's changed". My colleague goes to bring her to the interview room. I stand to greet her as she enters ( as we did all candidates). She enters, looks at me and declares, with disdain in her voice, "What are YOU doing here?" Not quite the first impression she wanted to make I'm sure.

She didn't get the job (she was shit as well as being rude and not coping well with unexpected situations).

If your interviewing comprises the candidates making
you a cup of tea then you deserve what you get.

I understood it as that he had worked with her before - hence the recognition. The tea and trouble she brewed was before the interview

This time I bothered to read it and I have to agree with you.
But she wasn't the first to forget how some twat took their tea. I thought she showed great initiative by checking the list and avoiding the embarrassment of having to ask him again.
Weren't her fault he forgot to update the list when he went all Vegan.

If she'd just fucked up the tea, fine. But she remembered what I told her and the did the opposite. That was just one example of what an idiot she was.
