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.

TRIPS AND BOSSESHad 2 particularly odd interviews. The first was in May 2000 (i think), the day after Ken Livingstone became Mayor. The night before I had decided that it would be wise to ingest as much acid as I could lay my grubby student fingers on. Followed by as many pills as possible. Having gone to bed about midday, I was woken by a phone call from my boss - I wanted to transfer to a pub owned by the same company but nearer my house. He'd swung me an interview (a formality, I was told) and all I had to do was turn up. So I did. My eyes were in different directions, I felt that I was sitting 3 feet behind myself, I could barely speak (certainly couldn't form sentences). The guy (all credit to him) told me there was no way he'd empoy me, but would I like a pint to settle myself.
The next one was at KFC. I turned up, Martin the Manager said to me the immortal "Do you like boxing?". I said "Yes." He said "You can start tonight".
