Interviewer started asking me all these new grad textbook questions for an engineering job. I have pushed projects through from design to manufacturing. I have been able to do this without remembering every fucking thing I learned in university and instead focusing on the parts that I have actually found useful in my day to day work life.

I ended the interview and hung up on the guy.

Later I ended up making 25% more than this job was offering without nearly as much bullshit during the interview.

I couldn't answer a single question
The worst one I had was so bad I can't even remember why on Earth some of the questions were on the job listing

It was one of those "Have 15 years of experience for this entry level job :)" type things

I had one years ago which took place in a city other than where the company was. They rented a hotel conference room for interviews. I was the first one on the schedule apparently. I drove to the hotel and was a block away when some jerkwad cut me off, brake checked my car and screamed something at me, waving his arms like a lunatic. Sure, whatever.

A few minutes later I'm waiting in the conference room and the interviewer was the jerkwad. I might have recognized me but I'm not sure. I didn't get that job.

I've yet to have one thankfully lol

The one with the most anxiety tho was the polygraph and then the psychological exam for cpd. Glad I passed those bc it would've turned into the worst ones if I didn't

"There's a hole of 5 years here that what we're you doing during that time?"

Me: I was in rehab but don't worry, I'm fine now :'D

Them: ok... Thanks for coming to the interview.
assemblingaknob · 26-30, F
@Queendragonfly they're so inconsiderate! We're not robots but they expect us to be
