Interview Horror Stories
Agony of the Feet

Interviewee:
"I thought the interview was going reasonably well, when the lead person on the three person interview panel took off his shoes and put his feet on top of his desk right in my face. The space in which the interview was being held was slightly larger than the desk. As he put his feet up, he asked me a question and I, shocked but not missing a beat, simply answered the question. I wasn't sure if that was a test on dealing with rude people or unusual situations, or a signal that I was not going to get the job. Fortunately, I didn't get the job."

Result: Did not get the job
