Shit Job Interviews

MrBump

Just had a shit job interview.

It was shit.

DLM

Been there, done that. Push on through, man.

Nikko

Is that an interview for a shit job, or a shit interview for a job?

Either way man, keep on keeping on. It comes good in the end if you don't give up.

joeyowen

we've all been there

Just means the next one will be better!

CHRISB50

Sorry to heat that, but at least the next one will hopefully be better!

It's Friday, have a cold one or three later, forget it.  There isn't a single working adult who hasn't had at least one shocker at interview.

It's not a reflection on you, you just had a bad day.  Don't beat yourself about it

I read the title and was going to ask the same thing. Glad I'm not the only pedant around here.

Was it for a job in a waste treatment works?

Further, was it shit because you think you performed badly, or because the interviewer(s) were on the wrong planet?

My last interview was shit, as in the interviewers were shit and the questions were shit. I didn't get it but it was internal so I'm still working for the shits. Shit.

Or a horrendous combination of the two?

As the only magic pig detective I've ever heard of I thought you could've named your price.
You need to talk to your union rep.

Your right. Imagine giving the job to the magic donkey detective! A disgrace.

It was shit.

Avoid this in future by not applying for shit jobs.

Srsly, you have my sympathy. I've had more than a couple which were shit. Sometimes down to me, but often not. I've had ones where I did really well and even well beyond what was expected of me but not got the job. You just have to apply for loads and do the best you can on the day.

I've had shit interviews... 

Recently I had what felt like a production-line-interview ... 15 minutes of quick fire questions then "OK, that's it" having never had so short an interview, or one of that fashion I assumed I'd done awfully - I was offered that job. Couldn't get a handle on it at all. 

I've also had interviews that felt awesome, like everything was perfect, then never heard back.

And even and interview where it started "Well, they say I need to ask you these questions, but when do you want to start would be the easiest" Helped that I knew the interviewer and was the only candidate worth an interview

there are never shit interviews - just shit interviewers...

Even bad interviews are good for something, you learn from your mistakes. Also on the other side you have a human being, maybe he/she was just bad at interviewing.

Tone71

Had an appalling one recently, knob heads of interviewers (3 round a table firing questions) strict questions, no personal interaction, absolute shite, waited 8 weeks for the interview and then 3 weeks to be told I was unsuccessful. Wankers.

The best ones are the friendly 2 way conversation with fellow humans, it`s a pain but the decent jobs are out there, guaranteed the next one will be better.

AlexHunter

I had one on Thursday......shit. Swift feedback (within 24 hours) though to tell me it was shit.
