Hiring Manager Interview Horror Stories: What are some of the worst experiences candidates have had?

Stay calm. For example, if the manager is being rude, don't let their behavior make you lose your composure. Just answer their questions professionally.

I heard of a hiring manager who asked inappropriate and discriminatory questions during the interview. For example, asking about a candidate's family planning when it had no relation to the job. This made the candidate uncomfortable and violated equal opportunity employment laws. It shows a lack of proper training and professionalism on the part of the hiring manager.

One horror story is when a candidate was asked extremely complex financial math questions on the spot without any warning. They froze and couldn't answer, feeling completely embarrassed. It was a high - pressure situation and they hadn't prepared for such in - depth math during the interview.

I knew someone who went to an interview and the room was freezing cold. The interviewer didn't seem to care and just carried on. To make it worse, they were very rude and cut off the interviewee mid - answer multiple times. It was a horrible experience for my friend. They felt so disrespected and didn't get the job in the end.

Well, teachers in 'tefl horror stories' have faced many bad situations. They might experience being blamed for students' poor performance when it's actually due to other factors like the students' lack of effort at home. There are also stories of teachers being harassed by local staff in the school for no good reason. And some teachers have had to endure long commutes to the school in really difficult conditions, like on bad roads or in overcrowded public transport.

One horror story is when a general contractor took a large deposit and then disappeared without doing any work. The homeowner was left with a big financial loss and had to start the search for a new contractor all over again.

One of the worst experiences I've heard was a person who thought they had enough in their account. They made a small purchase of just a few dollars but due to some pending transactions they weren't aware of, they got hit with an overdraft fee of $35. And it didn't stop there. Because of that initial fee, it put their account further into the negative and every subsequent small transaction over the next few days led to more $35 fees, totaling over $200 in fees in just a week.

Well, many people have horror stories regarding payday loans. Some found themselves in a cycle of debt. They took out a payday loan to cover an emergency expense, but then couldn't pay it back on time. So they had to take out another loan to pay off the first one, and it just kept spiraling. Also, there are cases where the terms were not clearly explained at the time of borrowing. The borrowers were not aware of all the fees and ended up in financial trouble.

One horror story is when an agent lied about the property's condition. They said there was no water damage, but after moving in, the new owners found a major leak in the basement. It cost them a fortune to fix.

One horror story is when a patient was given the wrong medication due to a mix - up in the pharmacy. They had a severe allergic reaction and almost lost their life. Another is a case where a patient was left alone in the emergency room for hours with a serious injury while the staff seemed to be ignoring them. And then there was a situation where surgical instruments were left inside a patient after an operation, which led to a whole new set of medical problems.
