Interviewer: What football team do you support?
Me: Chelsea
Interviewer: Good, we have too many f***ing Arsenal fans here, you start on Monday.

Had an interview that I thought was going relatively well. At the end, the interviewer said “I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I’ve interviewed a lot of people today, and you’re the first person I feel genuinely really confident about.”
And then I never heard from them again.

“Had an interviewer ask me ‘how do you deal with women?’ “I was obviously very confused, so I asked ‘what do you mean by how do I DEAL with women?’ And they responded with ‘it’s a pretty straightforward question — how do you deal with women?’… long story short, I didn’t get into that school”

“Interviewer asked me what my worst trait was. I answered… Thinking of a quick response to unexpected questions. She snort-laughed. I got the job”.

The interviewer asked me: “If a penguin wearing a sombrero were to show up here now, what would he say?”
(Our guess: “Fire this interviewer!”)

Met this guy at a job fair who loved my work and gave me his card, telling me to call him the next day to set up an interview.
The next day I went to his office and after looking at my portfolio, he tells me it’s great and that I’m a great fit for his company. He proceeds to give me a tour of his entire office, introduces me to a bunch of people, and tells me about the great lunch spots in the area.
At the end of the interview, we sit back down and he says, “Love your work and you seem great, but we’re actually not hiring right now. I’ll keep you in mind.”
