| Topic | worst job interviews you've ever had? |
| DevsBro 02/16/18 12:14:32 PM #24: | I had an interview to be a salesman. Which is a ridiculous concept--me being a salesman. But the address they gave me had to be wrong--or else mapquest just sucked, which I guess it did--because the directions I printed out took me into a subdivision. Fortunately, I left myself so extra time just in case I got lost, but even so I was a few minutes late when I finally found the place. So I walk in, it's a fairly large office building--the kind where each office is for a different company--and I find the suite number. Heavy wooden doors. Remembering my manners and not knowing what is immediately on the other side of the door, I knock. I wait. Nothing. I knock again. Wait. Nothing. This other dude in a suit comes down the hall, I kid you not, literally walks in front of me, opens said door and walks in without a word. And here I am, evidently completely invisible, standing there with my suit and Fischer-Price briefcase like the beta-est beta who ever beta'd. So I'm like... was that guy another applicant, or was that actually the business owner? If I knock now, will that be seen as a smartass move? If that was the guy who's supposed to interview me, is he gonna be like "who need a beta salesman?" So I leave. I got an email later that day asking me to reschedule... but I mean I didn't want to be a salesman anyway, and you really can't make much worse of a first impression than that so. --- ...
