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.

Smug bastardsI had one interview where they had a smirk on their faces before they even asked me a question. Then the template went like this:
Q: How much do you know about (obscure computer topic that has little to do with the job)?
Q: On a scale of one (you know very little) to ten (you are a wizard), how would you rate yourself?
Q: (A question pertaining specifically to the topic I had no knowledge of)
This was repeated word for word for about five random subjects before they smirked, sorry, showed me out.
The middle of the office was dominated by a giant chess set on which occasionally staff would take a break and try to out-smirk each other with their spoddy 'cleverness' (for which read: knowledge of computers, no knowledge of life itself)
I didn't get the job, by the way.
