There is a thread going on about job applications so I thought this might complement it. Tell us some funny or weird stories about any inteviews you had. For example, what is the weirdest question you have been asked in an interview?

In 1976 I attended an interview and the man asked me if I would be worried about getting my nice white suit dirty.

My most recent interview was so awful that I found it funny and so did all my friends when I told them about it. I didn't get the job...

I once gave an interview where the interviewee actually fell asleep! …on hearing he “wasn’t the right fit for the company” he then wanted to “appeal this decision“

Just reminded of when I interviewed someone a while back and smelled so bad I had to get up and open all the windows

Basically I don't know why they asked me to interview for the position. I was so obviously not qualified for it. The worst part was there was an assignment, I told them I had very little idea but they said 'just do your best' so I spent a humiliating 45 minutes attempting to produce a report with software I had no idea how to use. Mind you I made a pretty good attempt but only completed about 5% of it. I then spilled the glass of water they'd given me and ate several of the office Quality Street because I thought I might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. On reflection I should have said from the start that I thought I wasn't a good fit for the job and left with my dignity intact.

I once sat in on an interview where a woman claimed to be 40 but was very obviously at least 15 years older.

On another occasion a woman said she always made paper copies of everything she did on the computer 'just in case'.

So funny but at least you had those quality streets. The tasks are always a worry as sometimes are so peculiar. Tbh, they are not as popular in interviews anymore unless is some sort of high brow data analysis kind of thing. The ones I find really interesting are the reverse interviews as you can get your own back but also obviously find a lot out about them.

I’ve never been interviewed (unless we count the police!) but I have interviewed many and some years ago I was interviewing potential receptionists for my company. In walks this tall slim lady and, I know some may think me bad, but in my head I had given her the job before she even opened her mouth. Turns out she was not only a great employee but such a great person that I married her. Now I joke that most bosses just shag their receptionists, not marry them.

I went for a sales interview, I didn't have sales experience and didn't know what I was selling. "The top boss" was like a rake, pitching the fuck out of this hoover.

I got fired before I was hired. As he couldn't fire me because he realised I wasn't hired, just being group interviewed I ending sitting there listing to the garbage for a bit.

The question was "where is this best suited", I said office, which was wrong - fired go home. I said no, if I'm wrong explain why.

He then started chirping about the furry nozzle and how it looking like a fanny. I gave it 5 minutes and left.

There's no doubt others and I don't know how I've remembered that shitball of an interview.

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

When interviewed for my current job, I turned the tables and interviewed the MD instead.

Reverse interview, very much in vogue

When I was young I had an interview as a trainee accountant. Did all the interview prep (not there was much in those days), be confident, dress well, arrive early, firm handshake and look the interviewer directly in the eye. I walked in and he was the most cross-eyed man you ever saw, one eye looked left the other right. I literally didn’t know where to look! Anyway I got the job and he was loveliest man and one of the best bosses I have ever had.
