Job Interviews
If 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.

Damn schools
I was desperate for a job, so I applied for a job in a local school fixing their computers. The "technical test" I had to do was wiring a plug. I failed, but got the job anyway. Been here 4 years now, and I've not had to wire a single plug.
A couple of years later, I wanted to move to another school (best school in the borough...loads more money for the same job). I knnew the interview didn't go well - they clearly already had someone in mind for it and weren't interested in anything I had to say - but I got the rejection letter in the first post the next day. They'd posted it before I even got there for the interview!
