Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

I can't imagine wanting a job enough toactually 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"

They don't it for academic scientific jobs thank godbut I did leave the cosy world of academia for 5 years and had to endure a few toe curling interviews.

They wouldn't dare try. The closest they got at my place was an "away day".It was actually pretty successful. We were much more cohesive as a unit once we realised that everyone hated the Head of School with a passion.
