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.

Day from Hell (Apologies for length)On the day of my interview the car had to go for service, cue shitty peugot (wifey decided 12 miles was to far on a scooter), there seemed to be enough fuel so off I go to sunny Kiddy.
Two miles from the interview the piece of crap runs out of fuel(screwed fuel gauge) on a hill, I get out in spiffy suit and shiny shoes to push the car to the side of the road and slip and fall due to leather soles, I chase car dive through window and apply handbrake.
Phone interviewer and explain the situation, assured not a problem would I like someone to come with fuel, no says I not wanting to look a total mong..walk to garage round corner buy fuel can and fuel and everything is rosy.
Get back in car turn the key and the heap of shit won't start, phone interviewer again, explain the new situation, told to wait there and they would get one of their engineers to come and help me. Turns out the battery clamp was cracked.
Arrived at interview 45 mins late, scuffed shoes, dirty hands and a wild look in the eyes, and got told to make the tea.
Oh and I got the job
