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.

Just now, in fact(ish)I have just been trying to change careers, after several miserable but successful years in media, I'm going back to design, probably project management. I sent my CV to an appropriate recruitment agency, who sent me possibly the most offensive thing you can send me. And that is the "STOCK RESPONSE".
"We are sorry but you do not have the skills to match our requirements. We wish you all the best in the future."
I'm afraid, today, that was just one of those too many.
Cue niceandwarmandhot on the rampage. Rang the company and spoke to the receptionist, and effectively made the girl FEAR ME if a REAL PERSON DID NOT CALL ME and EXPLAIN the INSANE ACTIONS taken by SOMEONE who CLEARLY did NOT EVEN BOTHER to READ my CV.
Mind you, I'm a clever behatch - by the end of the 'chat' she was incredibly sympathetic, and was cooing about my misfortune. I am currently awaiting the phone call (that will probably come via their solicitors).
