Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

Sense of humour failure...A few years (fuck me almost 10 now) back... I had an interview doing tech support for a broadband company.
The interview went well and I was told I was "making all the right noises". the final part of the interview was a mock interview where I had to interview my possible employer for some strange reason.
The Guy walked out leaving Kate behind who was taking notes, I was told to relax and await the knock on the door.
I sat wondering what to say, how to handle this, I had never interviewed anybody for a job and halfway through any job interview my brain goes for a walk and I'm on autopilot.
"Knock knock knock" Came from the door....
I turned to face Kate and said "Kate, I'm very busy today could you take a message for me?" Kate fell about laughing then the guy wandered in, I conducted the interview completely poker faced and as serious as I could manage with Kate still letting out little stifled laughs from time to time.
A week later I recieved a letter telling me I hadn't been chosen to be employed and maybe I should "Take interviews more seriously".
