Interview Horror Stories

Crying Over Spilled Coffee

Interviewee:
"I accepted coffee and then proceeded to drop it in a box of papers the interviewer had in front of her desk. The interviewer was asking another employee a question and missed the whole thing, so I acted like I was just finishing it up (pretending to drink it) when she came back into the room. I never said a word - even though the box was flooded with coffee and whatever was in that box was most definitely ruined. BIG shocker - I didn't get a job offer!"

Result: Did not get the job
