funny bad interview stories

Clumsiness is also a factor. For example, tripping over something as they enter the interview room or spilling things as I mentioned before. Another aspect is inappropriate clothing choices that can make the interviewers either laugh or be put off. Also, over - the - top attempts to be unique that end up being just plain weird, like the singing in the bank interview story.

Sure. I once heard of a guy who went to an interview at a very fancy company. He was so nervous that when the interviewer asked him to introduce himself, he completely blanked and started talking about his cat's favorite toy instead of his work experience. It was really funny but also a bad move for the interview.

A friend of mine went to an interview and accidentally sat in the wrong chair at the start. Everyone had a good laugh, and it actually broke the ice. He ended up getting the job too.

One of my friends went to a college interview and was really nervous. He accidentally called the interviewer 'Mom' at the start. The interviewer just laughed and it broke the ice. My friend then relaxed and had a great interview.

Once, a candidate brought his pet parrot to the interview. The parrot kept interrupting by repeating 'Hello' and 'Pretty boy'. It was so unexpected that the interviewers couldn't stop laughing.

One story I heard was that a candidate was asked about the number of grains of sand on a beach. Instead of panicking, the candidate humorously replied that it was the same number as the stars in the sky that the interviewer couldn't count either. And they both had a good laugh.

I went for an interview at a place that seemed really disorganized. They didn't have my resume ready, and they made me wait for over an hour. When the interview finally started, the interviewer seemed unprepared and asked me really basic questions that were not relevant to the job at all. It was a total waste of my time.

Sure. I once heard of an interview where the candidate accidentally sat on a whoopee cushion that was left on the chair by a prankster in the office before. The sudden noise made everyone laugh, but the candidate took it in good humor and said it was a unique welcome.

One story is about a candidate who walked into the wrong interview room by mistake. Instead of being embarrassed and leaving, he charmed the interviewers in that room with his quick apology and funny anecdote about his clumsiness. They were so impressed that they considered hiring him for a different position.

Once, my friend asked for a simple trim. But the hairdresser got distracted and cut off way too much on one side. It looked like a lopsided bowl. She had to wear hats for weeks until it grew out a bit.
