    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!”

    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.

    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.

      Same, I'm autistic and struggle so badly with this insane environment where you just... HAVE to lie. It's expected of you. I can't do that! I just always say the truth and do my best to at least phrase it nicely, but most of the time that obviously doesn't work.
      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.

      I'm also autistic but with other disabilities (and am noticeably queer)
      I had a seizure in my first job interview and they still wanted me
      Working in healthcare is a great option for disabled people in the UK because there are loads of entry level positions that don't even require a-levels (search "NHS trac") and they have great accomodations
      I've received the job offer but it's still "pending review" per se but imma be a real lab tech soon :3

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

But never before had I done a solo storytime, and it was always for kids (rather than the two ladies who were about 20 years my senior). The entire time I was telling the story I kept having to pause for the giggles, and my nerves/embarrassment made me forget the song section.
    I thought for sure I had failed but, as I was leaving, the main manager told me that I (one of the last candidates to be interviewed) was the only one who actually did a storytime. I'll have been working at that position for three years in a few months.

    Not in the interview itself, but during the phone conversation inviting me to an interview:
    Employer: "Hi, I'm [name], calling from [workplace]."
    Me: "Yes, that's correct."

    At a recent summer camp job interview they asked me if I had worked with kids before. I had over 200+ hours of community service from being a summer TA in the past but my brain responded with "Yeah, I know a few."

    Interviews are a nightmare, 50+ year-old introvert me still breaks out in a cold sweat when I have to do 'em. I wish I could just say "Just trust me, I can do this job"

    7:12 That sounds like the fault of the HR department and not the Reddit user. In which case, I think this guy should've said something about that.

    For anyone wondering, this phrase is often used when you're looking for something you can't find, and you're looking in the right place, but still miss it. So the phrase is saying that you got so close to it but still missed it that if it were a snake, it might have biten you. The phrase dosen't even really fit this situation. Which is why he said "for some reason I said..." but apperently it's not that common a phrase.
