Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

Something to rememberI had a job interview in November 2001. It wasn't the ideal job, but I was out of work, broke and desperate. It was a big deal.
The interview seemed to go really well. I could do what they wanted me to do in my sleep. A dead cert. I'd nailed it.
I was absolutely buzzing by the time I got back in to the car. Until I looked down while putting my seatbelt on and realised that I'd sat through the whole interview with the plastic headless, leafless stalk of a remembrance poppy pinned to my chest. Fuck knows what happened to the rest of it. Dammit.
