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.

SandhurstRound two of Sandhurst selection in Westbury and I go in for an interview with some ropey old Colonel.
The Interviewee chair is an unfeasable distance from his desk, so when he offer me a seat I move it in front of said desk and park my arse.
Genuinely angered this Col. tells me to put the chair back where it was, which isn't hard as there are dimples in the carpet. Clearly no-one else has ever thought to move it closer before.
There is nothing like the knowledge that the interviewer is deliberately trying to intimidate one to make sitting in the middle of a room, shouting at a crap field officer the least intimidating of experiences.
All I could think was "which book did you read this in?"
I've left the army now. The crawling around on your belly, shooting people bits are fine, as is the mess, but I find it hard to pretend to care whether some poor Gunner's boots are shiny or not.
