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.

Two...I once went for an interview where I sat down, folder of notes in hand, and the guy over the desk just said "okay - talk to me." And that was the only question he asked. So I talked about myself for about ten minutes, after which he just said "thanks very much" and led me out of the office. I didn't get the job.
Secondly, I once had a colleague who went for an interview where he would be dealing with communications hardware. He was asked the question "what is a telephone?" and it completely threw him, so he just said "I don't know." He didn't get the job either.
