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The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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

That happened to me, years ago.
I was told it was an interview for a trainee marketing assistant.

I was taken out to Rochdale to try and convince people to buy vouchers for gym membership. It was door to door selling, and I quickly figured out that it was a pyramid scheme.

Two hours it took, two hours in the rain wondering if it was worse than being on the dole.

It was. I quite happily told them to shove it, and went off to watch some quality Richard and Judy.

The worst bit? Seeing all the desperate people trying to make the job work, telling themselves that it was the start of a glorious career :(

That was the just under two weeks for me
Worrying that I didn't have the "inner strength" to make a glorious career out of it...when I should have realised that it was just a pile of shit and walked away after the first day.
