>total bimbo look, not on purpose
interview kept "showing me the place" by taking me around on a tour and standing too close behind me, basically poking my ass as he pointed at things over my shoulder.

made a comment about working late nights, "burning the midnight oil just the two of us sometimes" etc.

very humilaiting. pay was stupid crazy, almost took it.

I'm lucky and don't get job interviews. The past three jobs I've applied for just looked at my resume and made me offers. I did just have an interview for a promotion a few weeks ago and got it. First interview I've had in 6 years.

> Half hour long interview for asst. manager position.
> Goes great, absolutely love me, think I would be a great fit.
> "Oh, and I know he didn't say in the posting for the job but it's part time only, 20 hours a week"
Fuck you, thanks for wasting my time.

I interviewed with SEPTA and everything went smoothly until I got up to leave. I ended up crop dusting all of them with a lingering fart that reeked of low tide.

Also checkem

I was too honest

"Do you like cleaning?"

"Not really but I'll do it if I have to"

He cut the interview off and was like: sorry but we can't hire you

Pic related.

That sucks. I hope you ended up finding a position that paid similarly.

Treat it as a side/temp gig?

Been there. You gotta plan your diet for interviews.

Yep... now I don’t get to drive a train because of my ass.

IME, even minimum wage jobs get multiple rounds of interviews. Must be a regional thing.

I make over 120k a year.

I was interviewing to be a graphic designer for a t-shirt company and they had me make vectors for raster images. It was timed and my hands wouldn't stop shaking which made the work look sloppy, didn't finish ran out of time and they said they would call me.
If my nerves didnt act up Im sure I would have nailed it, but I guess those doors/being a designer are closed.

I had an interview for a promotion from “Lead Supervisor” to “Assistant Director”, where the Director/Regional Manager put me through a series of interviews with not only entry-level subordinates, but subordinate supervisors. Ultimately, I was told I did not get the job because they felt that I would be too harsh on the employees.

I don’t put up with lazy pieces of shit and they all knew it. It was the dumbest thing I had ever heard of.

I've never understood that. Everyone hates manual labor. Everyone knows everyone hates manual labor. Why pretend that it matters if you like it or not when the important question is "will you do it to the best of your abilities and understanding?"

I was trying to go from one full time job that was fucking terrible to another fulltime job that was slightly less terrible so I didn't really have time for a side gig.

I can type words too

Interviewing for that tranny cuck porn position.

I thought it was for a modeling gig. Thankfully, I don't have abs, so they said I could go after I nutted from the assplay.

They want to be able to underpay you, and sometimes not pay you at all, and they hold all the power for shitty jobs like that since nobody's going to apply for them unless they basically have to.

Did things end up working out?

I once got asked to pick a famous person at random, dead or alive, then we as a group would be given a task. I chose Hellen Keller. We were then told the task was we are all stranded on an Island, and the rescue boat only has enough space for all but one of us : explain why you get a seat. Needless to say I died on the island.

kek

Nearly drowned myself at a lifeguard tryout because I didn’t get a good breath in when I started, and when I got out I puked because of oxygen loss. That caused my allergies to flare up and my nose was closed shut, causing my voice to sound ridiculous. It’s safe to say I didn’t get the job.

Theres no talking your way out of that one.

>not saying 'jesus'

I'm your manager. I know you make 21k on a good year.

120k Venezuelan bolivar

I would have hired you user :D

Dodged a bullet. He wanted me to say I wanted the sales job because I wanted to make money. He was pissed that I left because I took control of his stupid game and broke his rules.

I think this is the story where you left for no reason after seeing co workers talking about a funny cat video on youtube.

Is that how he phrased it?

Went for an interview and it ended up being a group recruitment for a pyramid scheme selling a $1,000 wet/dry vacuum cleaner set. I should have known better, but at the time the only job I'd had was two years customer service at a hardware store. So when I read "customer service" in the ad, I was mistaken in my assumption of what that meant. Sat through the presentation for like two hours, and then left when they had a lunch break.

That shit should be illegal.

I had a seizure at a best buy interview once. Shit was pretty jokes but i didnt get the job lol

Are you epileptic?

I had something similar happen years ago, except the "front" in my case was an exchange student program and they were selling vacation packages.

I experienced a similar student exchange program scam very recently. They hired me on the spot without an interview and when I looked them up online there was absolutely nothing. How the hell do people get away with this shit?

for alter boy at my church when I was 11
turned out to be the interview for a head alter boy

Lol yeah. But my seizures only really happen when i dont get a lot of sleep or I get too drunk. The night before i slept like 2 hours because the interview was early and im usually up late. Combined with anxiety and excitement it didnt go well lol

My interview with Amazon. They asked a bunch of open ended questions that I was just too nervous to answer. Was unprepared for the non-technical questions and bombed the interview.

The way Amazon structures their interviews is with 5-7 one on ones. It's weird because they have a "wildcard" interview where they come in and ask you this crazy question and you need to design a solution for it and its really technical. I crushed that and gave a reasonably performant solution and the interviewer ended up taking a picture of my answer on the white board.

But god damn could I not answer those other questions.

Doesn't matter now though, i work for a more prestigious company that has arguably an even bigger impact on the world. I've also lost a lot of respect for Amazon since talking with a lot of current and former employees.

You dumbfuck you probably got the job. They were likely laughing at some shit some customer said or a video on youtube.

What location and what salary? I'm currently a second year CS student, any advice for landing a job after school or maybe even during?

If you're epileptic, I don't think working in a place that sells electronics is a good fit for you.

What position was that for?

>be me
>going to a computer programming interview
>I happened to have been using lex/yacc for a personal project at the time
>this skill set comes up in the interview
>interviewer says that another employee has been working on a similar project and having problems
>calls in the other employee
>employee diagrams his syntax issue
>I spend 15 minutes to solve it
>everyone is happy
>a week later, get a phone call
>they didn't give me the job
I basically worked as a consultant for free

>I make over 120k a year.
>if you're talking about french fries, that is

Damn thats shitty.
With something random like that popping up wouldve thought you got it.

Jesus.

All my interviews go super well, but I am rarely hired because I'm in a wheelchair. I usually receive an email or phone call saying sorry you're not qualified for this job.

Holy shit that is the slyest, scummiest move.

>but I guess those doors/being a designer are closed.
so...you're going to give up on a career you're qualified for because of a bad interview?
lemme guess - you're not really qualified

Epilepsy doesnt imply that flashing lights and shit cause seizures just so we're clear. That's a pretty common misconception. Epilepsy literally just means "you have seizures", and it's on a spectrum in regards to causes and reasons behind those seizures than it is a single definitive thing.

Fair enough.
What sets you off then?

Artists and Yea Forums users are prone to depression.

>I took control of his stupid game and broke his rules.
yes, that's one way to look at failing an interview I guess

That was a good laugh my dude

I'm up in Washington now. I have 5 years of industry experience after an undergrad in Software Engineering Technology. I'm making >$170,000/year unadjusted. Unadjusted means that value doesn't consider benefits I get too which are pretty substantial.

As far as advice:

Don't sell yourself short. There are so many SE positions out there and too many people don't even apply to these well known corporations because they don't think they can get a job there. That or they have other priorities which keep them in a particular city which I can understand.

Also, for real, do those online programming question websites like hackerrank.com. They get you into the mindset and train you for the same style of problems you'll encounter in interviews. Also read Cracking the Coding interview. That book is written by an ex Google Project Manager and gives you the tools to at least work through these problems if not solve them.

Get a paid internship. There's so many fucking company, just apply and you'll get one. You'll come back to college afterwards and lol about what a joke it is in comparison to the experience of programming 8 hours a day.

>I am rarely hired because I'm in a wheelchair
>you'd think that roller coaster parks would be more accepting of disabled people

There are no amusement parks in my area, it is mainly plant or retail work. And most places aren't setup for wheelchairs.

Nice, thanks for the advice user

Maybe you didn't get hired because you have no sense of humor

Well why are you applying for a fucking retail or plant job? Those jobs are manual labor of course they're not gonna want someone in a wheelchair. Apply for shit like call center or receptionist.

>a paid internship
I've heard legends, but I didn't think they were real.

>sense of humor
>"How badly do you want this job?"
>"I'd give my chair for it."
>"Give your chair?"
>"I'd say 'I'd give an arm and a leg', but they ain't worth much."

>I've heard legends, but I didn't think they were real.
I'm a different software guy, and almost every company I've worked at has paid intern positions during the summer.
But I don't recall them being heavily advertised - there just isn't time for that. You basically just have to know a guy.
Go out and meet some people.

It's all we have in this area. Receptionist needs college here. And all my history is labor jobs. I can still do labor, but most contracts I land are only for a couple months,

Lol that was your own fault. Hope you learned from it

I was actually thinking of taking summer classes so I can finish my degree faster. Are you guys saying it's a better idea to do internships instead?

I usually joke about getting stuck in the mud aha, used to do a lot work building houses and condos. And even roofing. Wouldn't want to roll off on ya guys aha

>Receptionist needs college here
Where the fuck do you live that you need a degree to be a fucking receptionist? They hire literal retards and stacies to do that shit.

Accounting major here.
Got accepted for a $20hr full-time summer internship with an aerospace company.
Plenty exist. I found mine on linkedin.

Canada you need a 2 yr office degree, and no call centres in this area. Unless you want to register a company for online work, and get paid per word, or minute . Which is total shit and pointless.

Por que no los dos? Summer classes aren't too bad.
If I had to pick though definitely the internship over the summer.

Yeah I really wish i had applied for internships for this summer because the classes I'm taking right now are a joke. But next year I think I'm gonna take Physics 3 and Probability and Statistics, maybe even 1-2 more classes with it. I guess I could do both though. Do internships have you work part time days or full time hours?

Lack of sleep and alcoholism.
See

Car dealership, applied to be lot attendant. I had just left a job where I had worked for four years and became "head" in my department. I probably came off to the manager and HR person like I thought I was really hot shit. Didn't get a call back but I wasn't surprised.

Pretty sure that happened at my first job interview over a decade ago

>Went in for first interview, which was also my first post-college interview. Went well.
>Went in for second with one of the executives. Went well as far as I can tell.
>Request to write code, some bullshit mock carousel. Ask for it to be specifically be written in classic ASP.
>Being my first real job prospect out of college, I have no clue if this is normal and spend the next 24 hours fretting over the whole thing.
>Finally code something. Entirely from scratch. Was so inexperienced I didn't even think to google for a solution, which might have cut development time to just a few hours.
>Code works, isn't great, but wasn't given any direction other than to make it function. They seem happy with it.
>Go in for one more interview with IT manager.
>Underling comes in right at the end of interview with an "emergency" problem. Dude brought computer with him and IT manager looks at it.
>I'm not an employee, so I excuse myself from the conversation and wait for "emergency" to be resolved.
>Everything seemed fine when I left the office after that last interview.
>Don't hear back from them.
>Never get response from followup email inquiry to senior manager or IT manager I had spoken with.
>9+ months later the person I was told I was going to replace (if I got the job) is still listed on their website.

Pretty sure they ran a scam to get free code OR they introduced a shitty "test" to their interview process to see how willing or interested people are to help out with an "emergency", even though they aren't actually employed there.

Was the interviewer technical himself to be able to ask such a problem? Maybe he wanted to get another engineer in the room to ask you that kind of question.

The one where I told them my girlfriend killed herself, and that was my only unreported absence from my prior job. They said "yeah, you ain't cut out to clean our toilets"

Depends but most I've seen are full time. I'm not saying this is great but I've definitely gotten away with writing my senior project on a lot of days because my coworkers didnt even notice the language change. It was a small shop lol.

>Lol that was your own fault. Hope you learned from it
yeah, stupid me for trying to impress people with my knowledge in an interview
maybe I should stick to fries and slurpies like you

Worst interviews:

First interview I ever had. Best Buy. Old high school friend says I should apply and that he's worked there for a few months. The interview was going well until I mention friend who works there. Manager doesn't know who I'm talking about, and is adamant no one by that name works at that store. I start to second guess myself the rest of the interview. After it was over I went out to my car and just sat in it for about 10 minutes in silence knowing I didn't get a fucking job at Best Buy. Of course I never heard back from them.

wtf are you talking about faggot, "broke his rules" topkek

About 15 years ago, post college:

>Wasn't given a specific address for interview, so I went to the one in the HR contact's email correspondence.
>Arrive 20 minutes early. Staff doesn't know who I am or why I am there.
>Finally get ahold of the HR person I was in communication with.
>Building I was supposed to have interview in was at 5 minutes away by toll-road.
>Poor at the time and didn't have any money so had to take back-roads. Takes 15 minutes.
>Get to building about 5 minutes past when interview was supposed to start.
>Building is very quiet. No receptionist at front desk.
>Go straight up to 3rd floor.
>Elevator doors open. The entire floor is abandoned. Like, emergency lights only. Papers on the floor.
>I walk around for about 30 seconds before I book it to the elevators and walk out of the building.
>Realize that the office building was set up like a duplex. I went in the other entrance.
>Like 20 minutes late by this point.
>Get to receptionist.
>Escorted up to floor. Looks like a regular office.
>Turns out the people I was supposed to interview with didn't even fucking come into the office, so they find replacements.
>Office party is clearly going on. Replacements don't seem to really want to do interview.
>Interviewers fumble through interview.
>Eventually one grabs a piece of paper and a pencil and asks me to write some *working* javascript code on the spot.
>I can now only hear the sound of blood rushing past my ears and can feel my heart beating out of my chest.
>I basically tell them I'm not able to do that.
>I want this interview to be over.
>I actually don't remember much else other than they asked for me to wait in the elevator lobby to be escorted out.
>Wait over 5 minutes for escort.
>Leave on my own.
>Decide if they do contact me with a job offer I'd probably say no.

literally how

Interviewed for a job as an AV technician/installer. Asked about career progression and got the 'unless someone leaves, probably no, and staff turnover is pretty low'. Tanked the rest of the interview and got a job paying nearly double around six weeks later.

Hi user, we can still do the interview, but we've already picked someone else.
>What?
A relative of X is getting the position. I'm not supposed to tell you, I'm just trying to save you time since you won't be getting the job.
>When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me before I came here?
Two weeks ago. Um, we tried to call you but you didn't answer.
>I spoke to you guys about this interview three days ago.
Oh, um... I can talk to X about blah blah blah

Phone ring. Hi user, X here. Since you didn't show up for the interview management hired someone else for the position...
