Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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 was interviewing for a job that was mine, strictly as a formality...The interviewer asked what I felt my biggest strength was.
I replied that I saw through bullshit such as competency based interviews as being an exercise that appears to have been designed, not to find the best candidates, but to allow prize bullshitters the opportunity to shine above people who are more qualified and experienced, and went on to point out that the entire process was probably designed by an arsehole and is swallowed up as a good thing by gullible HR harridans who spend most of their time looking our for the next big thing.
I got the lowest interview score out of all of the interviewees.
Not really a disaster though.
I still got the job.
