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.

Sabotaged!When our branch was being shut down, we were informed of all of the other job openings at the company. I seemed remotely qualified for one, so I applied and got an interview. It was a four hour drive to the offices, but, having just learned how to use Access and SQL at school, I felt like I would easily get the job.
It turns out there was a woman there who thought I was trying to take her job, she managed to talk herself into the interview and proceded to make me look as bad as possible, throwing out questions that no one would know and just being as horrible as possible. I have never said "I don't know" and "No" so many times in a interview.
Lucky for me, I called up a guy that I went to high school with who lived in the same city where I drove for the interview. He got me an interview at his company the next day, I got the job and moved two weeks later. I still work there, it's great.
