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.

Interview Role-reversalI once had an interview for a job as a book packer in Eastbourne. The interviewer, a floor manager , asked a few of the generic interview questions from an idiot proof script. Every time I managed to mention my qualifications or experience he looked more and more miserable.
Eventually he put the script aside and leaned forward- "It's a shit job son and you'll be constantly bored. You can do better than this but you are welcome to work here if you really want to."
I took the job. It was shit, I was bored, and after about 3 weeks I left and did do better.
