The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

There is nothing that can drive terror into my very soul than the words 'role play' in an interview
Unless they are asking me what computer games I play

actually do that.
It's the same thing with team building bollocks.
"Hey, we're all going out next week to get cold and wet in a field, and build rafts from coke bottles"
"Um, you mean YOU are going"
"Everyone has to go"
"Fuck off"

Add to that your Charisma Bonus.
If it's over 10 you find yourself sitting in front of an attractive female Elvish interviewer who gets up closes the door and shuts the blinds and then resumes her seat where she then smiles at you and leans forward whilst doing so. Far enough that you can see down her armour plating and note she is not wearing a tunic. She winks almost imperceptibly at you and says, "Let's get down to business shall we."
Below 10? The bald, overweight, sweaty, old, male Goblin interviewer you've just sat down opposite leers at, unties his britches and says, "I hope your keen to get this job, cause there's only one way to pass the interview."
DungeonMaster says - Charisma is as important a skill bonus as Strength and Agility.
