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The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

Cant believe I forgot this one
Applying for bar work some time ago. I turned up to the "employment open day" being held at a new pub that was looking for 12 staff members. Along with 400 (yes, really) other applicants. After filling in a short form, I sat down with a harassed-looking man in his forties. He picked up my form and asked me if I had had any bar experience. When I replied in the negative he, without breaking eye contact, turned my form over and placed it face down on the table.

I left the building without further comment.

Sounds a pretty efficient system to me.

The more cunning plan would

Why did you bother sticking around to fill in the form, you time waster?
