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.

interviewing a couple of consultant engineers....Picture the scene...
Got a few likely candidates for a bit of project work that's gonna need some nifty thinking and a good result.
First couple of consultants from a design firm...
Just before we sit down to the interview, I introduce them to the coffee machine.. a machine that has the most poor and idiotic automation routine known to man...
Me: "Look out for this one guys... It's automated in a bizzarre way, and is capable of squirting boiling coffee all over you if you forget to shove a cup in it first"
Them: "Yeah, we know, we designed that machine"
Me: Seriously? You are responsible for... THIS?
Them: Yup.
Turns out that they thought EVERYONE in the world would remember to put a cup down BEFORE hitting the buttons. Fekking Retards. Couldn't design thier way out of a wet carboard box.
OO-Faaaah-Vooo
EDIT: should Prolly point out that ALL coffee machines apart form this single one, dispense cups. Therefore, people are used to chattnig, hitting a button, and continuing thier conversation.... and then recieving hot coffee down the side of thier leg.
