Job InterviewsIf it's not the "where do you see yourself in five years time" question, it's the trick questions they throw at you to make them feel superior. Tell us about your worst job interview and the most unsuited candidates you've seen. BTW: Please don't use the question board to send messages to each other. It makes the whole thing unreadable for everyone else.

« Go Back
While working for BT Research......and having just finished an HNC, my then boss said I should go for a sponsored placement at University. Basically you got paid the same amount but spent your time drinking at Uni, only having to turn up back at work during the holidays.
So I applied, went for the usual maths / psychometric / aptitude tests and then had to attend a couple of interviews as well.
In the final interview, which was really the Yes or No decision, they basically said that I was too thick to get a degree and they wouldn't sponsor me.
So I quit the job and went to uni anyway.
Three years later I took great delight in going back for an interview for a manager's job with my newly aquired BSc Hons certificate at the very same place and being a right cunt all the way through, as I had no intention of ever going back to work there.
