Bursting with talent: Real (weird) interview stories

by: Amy White

How a little thread turned into a huge problem for one intervieweeEvery once in a while there are job interviews so strange that they can only be considered once in a lifetime events. We've compiled some real life crazy job interview stories – they're good, they're bad, and they're downright crazy… But one thing is for sure - they're gonna make you laugh.

“In my very early twenties, I had an interview with a major department store. Well, the day before I picked out a very conservative black skirt and pinstriped top. I even tried the outfit on to insure that it fit. When I arrived at the interview I was greeted by a man in his late thirties or early forties.

“However, during the interview I noticed that he frequently tilted his body to one side. I thought it a bit odd, though, I assumed the man may have a stiff back and was experiencing discomfort.

“It wasn't until I arrived back in my car that I realized that the side seam in my skirt had come apart and I was revealing quite a bit. That's what I get for shopping the clearance racks. However, the way he was leaning, I'm surprised I didn't get the job.”

- Laura P.
