So if you're excellent at your job but a cat-person you won't get hired?

Isn't this illegal?

Harsh!

Omg, how embarrassing. That happened to me as I was walking to the shops and stopped to chat to one of our neighbours. Eek

Open mouth, insert foot.

Thats messed up.

Couldn’t get much less professional than that.

I would have said. "Well then it's a good thing I'm not your secretary because then you'd be broke from the enormous lawsuit you'd face for wrongful termination and sexual harassment." And I'd walk out.

Ugh, that is just petty and a complete waste of someone’s time.

Well that took a turn...

classic facepalm moment

I once had an interview with a young woman who appeared to be wearing full-on corpse paint. I wanted to hire her so badly, but she took a position with another newspaper before I could call her back. Her first year in the business, she won a state-wide journalism award for her writing.

Maybe that was suppossed to be a porn and you've just not been told?

Got hit by a lorry early in the morning, while stopped at a junction. Arm was broken but I still did an interview that afternoon. Sometimes shock stops you realising you need to stop.

Worked for a charity helping to research arthritis and support sufferers. You learn that a handshake is a p**s poor way to evaluate people when there are hundreds of thousands of people suffering with the problem. When your hands hurt the last thing you need is some damned fool thinking a handshake should be a test instead a civil way of greeting someone.

That's Baby, ESQUIRE, you patronizing schmuck! I had to explain to a male lawyer that calling female employees "love" or "dear" is a very bad idea.

Anna Wintour herself probably designed that torture chamber.

I would have said "You know I don't have to be working for you to file a sexual harassment lawsuit, right?"

Haha. They can't handle the truth!

Defudge?

This isn't a "worst interview". You didn't do anything wrong. Actually you behaved in a very good way.

Some days it just do bee like that

Wow, lot of money being spent on such a low level job. Whoever was in charge of recruitment needed sacking. All the charities I worked for conducted equal opps interviews and were, bar one, very professional.

That's pretty standard international business practice.

I've had this when applying for jobs internally. A manager will arrange a meeting to tell you why you didn't get the job and what you might want to consider doing to apply for it again in future. But a random firm, would a phone call not have sufficed?

I think it was the tits.

Those things are really confusing, windows are more or less infinitely better

wtf? why died he want to know that?

Plan when there's a mass fatality incident: Bury them. There you are.
