Worst Job interview ever...

[narzy]

So I had a job interview this morning for a local tech support / networking company. As I was walking in dressed all preppy and willing to sell my self to the company for small sums of money I fell while taking a shortcut through their landscaping and finding a hole just about the right size for my foot. So I go down on both knees. It having rained the night before left mud on the knee caps of my pants.

I cleaned myself up best I could but the effort was futile and walk in to the interview with wet mud spots on my pants. Little did I know but it was a Panel interview. I walked in to the board room, introduced myself and the first question someone asked was "what happened to your pants?" Without even thinking about it I quicked quipped, "Oh, nothing, I just had to give head to some guy in the parking lot to get a space so I wouldn't be late." I quickly regreted my choice at the time but they were cracking up for a solid 5 minutes so I figured it wasn't all bad. They continued with the interview and I nervously stumbled around to answer them feeling like a complete tool the entire time and went on my marry way.

I get a call a few hours later from the head of HR, very nice lady. It's at this point she informs me that although she found it extremely humorous and I was one of the top canidates they had decided not to hire me because they felt I might be an 'unacceptable risk' to the company. I told her I understood and thanks for the oppertunity...yadda yadda...

At least it is a story I can tell my kids at some point in the future...on how not to act at a job interview :|.

That's one hell of a response to, "What happened to your pants?"

 

[James Bond]

WOW. Haha.

I would hire you on the spot. Anyone who has the balls to tell a blowjob joke at a job interview is destined for great things.

 

[Legendary]

Hahahaha. I wonder if they meant health insurance risk?

 

[SpunkyJones]

Is this a parody thread? Who the hell tells a blow job joke at a interview???

 

[Sphexi]

Unacceptable risk my ass. They just figure anyone stupid enough to say something like that in front of a panel of interviewers doesn't have the brainpower necessary to wipe his own ass, much less handle their tech support services.

All that's left for you to do in life is to tell your next interviewer that you were late because you were busy fucking his daughter.

Video or it didn't happen! Why do I know you were gonna tell the give head joke when I read the mud on knee line...

 

[jonks]

Hmm, b-j joke an no j-o-b? weird. prudes.

 

[thepd7]

haha oh my wow, yeah you would definitely be a risk. Anyone who doesn't have the filter to not tell a BJ joke at an interview doesn't have the filter to not tell customers (or other employees) something that would get the company in deep trouble.

Someone who has a lot of interviews in their future.

Not a lot of jobs, but a lot of interviews indeed.

I'm not sure... it's almost like it was so blatantly not a smart thing to say that it might have come across better than some of the less outrageous things I've seen. I was dining out recently and there was a "post interview" dinner happening at the next table. Both the interviewers and interviewee said at least a dozen things between them that no one should ever say at an interview because they look like morons for doing so.

Examples:

Interviewer: [This company uses a weird custom development platform - he's explaining the "benefit" here]: The great thing about [in-bred language they use] is that we can actually go into the database and look at the data!

Interviewer: We have flexible hours here. So if you like to go to sleep late you can come in later and just leave at 6 or 7. When do you like to sleep?
Candidate: I don't really sleep. I go to bed at 2 and wake up at 5.

(awesome double, possible triple example)
Interviewer: Another nice thing is that we have great people who work together to help each other. It's very unusual. Do you like working in that way?
Candidate: Yeah, things are like that at my frat house.
Interviewer: Oh, you are in a fraternity? What are those like?

Interviewer: As a programmer, you'll like working here. We use a full system development lifecycle here. For a 6 month project, we will rarely spend more than 2 days writing code, so it's very efficient.

Interviewer: I used to work for Anderson Consulting. Things are a lot different here. Here, when a developer is done coding, we actually have a formal testing process. I've never seen that anywhere else.
