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.

During a spate of recruitment......a batch of nervous-looking interviewees turned up at work (a rather large company in the game industry that sounds nothing like 'Tony').
I'm busy at work when the awkward screech of the fire alarm forces the human contents of the entire building (only couple of hundred employees) into the car park. In the rain.
Not being a scheduled fire drill, thoughts turn excitedly to 'is there really a fire?'. Well, there was a small fire. In the gents. At the end of a cigarette in the mouth of one of the interviewees, puffing away blissfully unaware of the fully armed and operational smoke alarm above the cubicle.
The whole building knew within ten minutes of returning to work and the best of it is, the silly sausage STILL had to sit through the interview.
Did he get the job? "Amusing comment in the negatory."
