  • When applying for a job feel free to list me Matt Rose as a reference and I will inform any employer that you're more affable & hard-working than Christ and Edison combined. "They're a modern-day Credison!" I'll yell passionately. "Don't hire them at your peril skullllemmojiiiii!"

    My mom used to use the phrase “if it were a snake it would have bit them” to describe someone hunting for something that was actually within arms reach of them.
    She stopped after a 2 foot long snake got into our car and slithered into my sister’s lap for warmth on a cold night.
    It did not bite her and dad pulled over and flung it into a neighbor’s yard to get it off her lap; but no one thought I was funny when I said “on her lap? If it were a snake it would have bit her!”

    I'm autistic, so job interviews are my worst nightmare and I never got a job at a company who did interviews only.
    I walked myself out of an interview because the interviewer really insisted I answer the "when do you see yourself in 5 years?" question. I first said I don't know, many things can change in 5 years. He insisted. I said I really can't predict anything. He insisted again. I told him I changed my mind and I don't want the job anymore, and left. It wasn't a dream job anyway, but I was applying for my first job ever.

      My dad got his current job that he's been supporting us with for three decades by straight up lying and saying he speaks French. When he got the job he took a really intense crash course and then just winged it and it all worked out, now he does speak French. But never in a million years could I do something like that.

This was a bar and grill with a few people inside ordering food, all anyone heard on the opposite end of the door was "Oh watch out for those stairs-" *BANG BANG BANG*
    I still got the job, and I start tomorrow!

My starting pay is much higher than I expected for my position, I have friends that work with me, and my bosses are super sweet unproblematic people! And our head chef yells “Wooooo!!” at random!

    These stories make me feel much better… a few I can recall
    1) My shirt kept unbuttoning itself, rather than acknowledge it I kept doing the buttons back up whilst I answered their questions.
    2) I left my bag in the interview room. I didn’t realise until I’d left the building and the interviewer had to be called back down to escort me to the room to collect the bag
    3) Spilt coffee down my white shirt before the interview, so I refused to take my jacket off. It was the middle of a heatwave and the building didn’t have AC (it was in England). They kept saying, it’s really ok you can take your jacket and tie off. But I kept refusing, insisting I was okay - even though sweat was visible rolling down my face, into my eyes and off the end of my nose.

    The worst one I can actually remember was a clerical role for a housing rental office and panic literally overtook my entire brain, so I walked into the room, the interviewer asked me if I would like to take a seat, I stared at him like a complete psycho for 10 seconds then said "No thanks" and turned around and walked out. Then had a break down outside the building. Good times.

    That "if it was a snake it would've bit me" expression does make sense though, which is more than can be said of most figures of speech, even if I and apparently everyone else have never heard it before.
    For those who don't get it it's because snakes are sneaky and if you don't see them, and let them sneak up on you, they bite you. Hence, a small problem you failed to spot that is pointed out to you at the last second can be described with the phrase.

      @MrDannyDetail Місяць тому +66

      I've been looking up the phrase on the interwebs and it seems it's actually generally used when something you were searching for turned out to be right under your nose the whole time, as in it was so close to me all along that I probably touched it during the search and thus if it was a snake it would have bitten me. To my mind that doesn't fit so well for an undone zip, unless before they were told about their undone zip they had already been searching for the zip in the position it was meant to be in and failed to notice it was there all along but just a few inches lower down (i.e. undone), but that's a bit of a stretch to make the idiom work.

They called me and told me I was hired , and asked when I could start. But their pay was too low so I told them “yeah ..no I’m good” and hung up. The second interview was at my local library that I’ve been to frequently since I was a small child. I know the interviewer well.

    I'm a singer, and we are trained every day to walk into an audition setting and say "Hello, my name is (name) and I'll be singing (title) by (composer)." As much of that training as we receive, it doesn't appear that audition panels have been taught the same thing. There is very little that can cause classical singers to fall 100% silent, but nothing will make me forget every word in my vocabulary more than a casting director going "So what would you like to start with?" right before I start my slate. YOU TAUGHT US THE SCRIPT, WHY ARE YOU NOT FOLLOWING THE SCRIPT???

    I have had the worst fucking Monday, and this is exactly what I needed.
    Also, my interview horror story - Final interview for a senior subject matter expert role at a massive classic GB company. Bought a new suit and everything.
    Trouble was, my (cheap) new suit and the fancy leather of the chair didn't seem to want to cooperate, and I started sliding down in my seat. I was so focused on the questions that I didn't really notice until I was slouched in the chair like a moody teenager, at which point I shuffled my way back to a professional posture.
    Only for it to happen all over again. Twice.
    I didn't get the job.

    I only ever blew one interview and it was on purpose. One of the questions was "what would you do if someone complained about someone smelling bad" The job was for a position at a public library, not private, public. Which means everyone of all walks of life is allowed to enter and use the services offered..... So I said that because it's a public library unless he's antagonizing the person complaining about him then he gets to stay. What if he was going through something and kicking him out would've been the last nail in the coffin? What if he was homeless and didn't have access to a bath?
    I mean, I was raised to treat everyone with equal respect unless you have a valid reason not to. So yeah I said something.

    I once had an interview in a huge, like three universities size, building. I got there early, the security at the gate gave me directions, and I went on my merry way. Half an hour later (the time my interview started) I had to call the HR lady, since I was still lost. She gave me directions. It didn't help. In the end, I spent there almost two hours, lost in the corridors. Oh, and the security pass was only for one part of the building, so somehow I was also trespassing and got in trouble.
    Later I learned only a few candidates made it to the actual interview...

    I once got asked a question about what if I was the only person behind the counter and a bunch of customers came in and lined up all at once. I, without even having a chance to think, said "I'd cry." I could tell from the look on her face that the interview was a lost cause at that point but we kept going. She later asked me a question about when I had to think quickly and I froze for like 15 seconds before telling a story about how I accidentally lit a rag on fire at an old job and how I grabbed the burning rag, threw it on the ground and stomped it out.
