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The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

Possibly a tad harsh, but I get your point. I think he thought that "rude" might be tad risqué rather than the sheer level of jaw dropping awfulness that he actually got, but granted not his finest moment. I do know he's never used that interview question again though so at least he learned something.

Candidate is clearly an utter tool though. Even if encouraged, why would you say such a thing??

Recruitment also a shitty industry - agreed. Very glad I don't have to do it anymore!

Peace.
