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.

Unlike the old days when you went to sign up and you would start the week afterYou now have to go through Several stages to get into the Army.
I had done my 1st medical/mental tests and had my 1st interview with the staff sergeant which went really well. queue my 2nd one with a SGT Major the first thing he does is hand one of my references and asks me to read it out loud.
To my horror my boss at work (ex marine) without my knowledge had written 2 copies. A proper one and a spoof one. Guess which one the Staff SGT had passed to the SGT Major?
Yup i had to read out loud what my Boss/mate had written on the spoof one, it basicly said my only qualification was a NVQ level 1 in drinks machines, i was a raging homosexual, i cant wait to be cleaning my weapon infront of the lads and that as a ex serviceman he is shocked that our countrys future is in my hands.
Luckily i saw the funny side straight away and so did the SGT major.
I have now passed and i am waiting for a start date.
