There was an instance where a young and inexperienced interviewer was so nervous during an interview with a big - name celebrity that they kept stuttering and forgetting their questions. This made the whole interview seem unprofessional and the celebrity was left feeling like their time was being wasted. Another case involved an interviewer who clearly hadn't done their research. They asked the celebrity about a project that the celebrity had publicly stated they had nothing to do with months ago. It was embarrassing for both parties as the celebrity had to correct the interviewer in front of the audience.

A friend of mine once had a law school interview where the interviewer grilled him on a very specific area of law that he had only briefly studied. He was caught off guard and tried his best to answer, but it was clear that the interviewer was not satisfied.

However, he later found out that the interviewer was just testing his ability to think on his feet, but at that moment, it was a real horror story for him.
In an interview once, the room was freezing cold. The employer didn't seem to notice or care. I was shivering while trying to answer their questions.

I heard of a case interview where the technical equipment failed. The candidate was all set to present a complex data analysis case, but the projector didn't work and there was no backup plan.

It made the candidate seem less prepared than they actually were.
A student walked into the interview room and immediately felt an intimidating atmosphere. The interviewers were very serious - looking and didn't give any reassuring smiles.

It was a very disheartening experience for them as they thought they could have done much better if they had been given a chance to fully express themselves.
