But I'm too young!
Best ever interview was when I was 16 going for a glass collector job at the local caravan holiday park. Turned up and said hello to Dave the manager. First question was, "Can you pull a pint?"

"Yeah, reckon so", I replied.

"Go on then", he says and points to the bar, "pour whichever one you'd normally drink".

I did and remarkably, as it was my first time using a proper beer tap, pulled a pretty near perfect pint.

"Nice one", says Dave. "You start behind the bar Monday night."

"But I'm only 16", I pointed out, "I'm too young to work behind the bar."

"Yeah but you look 18, if you don't tell anyone then neither will I. Now, are you going to drink that pint?"

Worst interview was probably when I was contracting and arrived at the client's office to find the agent had told them a totally different story about my experience than
I'd put on my c.v. We ended the interview agreeing that the job wasn't right for me and I wasn't right for it, only for the agent to call me and say, "they're really keen, I think
you've got that one" 30 minutes later...
