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.

What a lush.....Probably the worst interview I ever had was one for "Food City", a local grocery store. The night before I came down with a nasty fever, and looked like hell in the morning. Though this being a time when I could barely afford toliet paper, I REALLY needed the job and forced myself to go. Apparently, the interviwer had, had a bad night as well, and had come to work quite snookered.
Over the course of the 3 hour interview (which should have taken about an hour) the interviewer alternately burped, dozed off and at one point began to look ill. I leaned forward to ask if he was okay- just as he began to spew. Luckily, I leapt backward, avoiding being hit, though sadly, tripped over my chair, hit my head on the desk behind me and went unconcious.
I woke up on the floor, just as the interveiwer told the manager that I had come to the interview drunk and had vomited everywhere. (Imagine the bastard blaming it on me!!!) Needless to say, I gathered myself of the floor, stomped up to the interviewer and promptly told him to "F*ck off".
Hmmmm.....anyone wonder if I got the job? (If you think I even wanted it, poke yourself in the eye!!)
