Worst interview ever. By miles!

Evolve · 12 Feb 2008 at 12:04

I just had the single worst interview of my life. It finished about twenty minutes ago, basically a promotion at my current workplace. A complete system shutdown, utter brain freeze, a biblical display of incompetence on my part for a job I am by all rights over qualified for. I faced questions I would normally breeze through, technical exercises I encounter every day, yet I managed to fail so badly it would have to be quantified in acres. I'll never be able to look the interviewer in the eye again.

Anyone else have any tales of woe from interviews? Possibly to cheer me up with a laugh!

a guy I know when asked the question, how did you prepare for this interview? answered seriously... I put on a suit and had a shave! lol

I'd have probably managed to screw that one up as well!

Nope I prepared, had plenty of time. Just screwed up, least I'm being honest about it!

From that, you sound like ideal Management material to me.

Haha thanks! Yeah, I was contemplating drawing up a pie chart as well, possibly investing in a pointer.
