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The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

Not a disaster but a triumph!
Mrs Duck is very good in interviews. Once she went for a Sales teamleader post.

The guy conducting the interview was your typical salesman all brash and matey. Mrs Duck clocked this and decided he was a bit of lad and liked a pint or two (developing beer gut confirming this).

So when he asked the inevitable and boring question "what are your weaknesses?" she took a risk and said "Stella"

Luckily he laughed decided she was just right for the job.

He turned out to be a right cunt to work for.

So he was laddish and beery,
and she wasn't able to predict that he'd be an arsehole from that alone?

There is a senior researcher in our department who fits that description. My face aches from laughing when we have our works drinking sessions.

His humour is very B3ta

True enough;
but they're warning signs.

NB: I heartily dislike everyone, so everything is a warning sign.
