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.

College interviewFor some unknown reason I decided it would be wise to have an interview at the local tech college despite being guaranteed a place at the best sixth form in the country (and that's official y'all). It was possibly the worst interview I could ever have imagined.
After arriving at a dingy hole of a building (shortly to be demolished) and having walked past numerous shadowy characters and the college car park full of chavved-up Corsas, I had to wait for about forty minutes. The 'library' in which I sat consisted of a couple of shelves of aged books in a crumbling room with a climbing plant growing all around, and a picture of some deceased youth in the plant pot. They then decided that, in the absence of most of the candidates, they would 'interview' myself and someone else together. The interview consisted of an apologetic frustrated academic telling me that they didn't do the 'A' levels I wanted and weren't really very good at 'A' levels, but that they would love a few 'high-flyers' like me. Would I consider doing a GNVQ (Generally Not Very Quick) instead?
I went to the sixth form. Curiously, the technology college in question is actually excellent at its core subjects, and one of the best in the south.
