I don’t have personal experiences, but I’ve heard some pretty wild job interview horror stories! One common tale is about a candidate who accidentally showed up to the interview on the wrong day and walked into a different meeting instead. They ended up awkwardly pitching their resume to a group of bewildered executives who were just trying to discuss quarterly numbers!
Another story involves someone who got stuck in traffic and arrived flustered, only to realize they had a giant coffee stain down the front of their shirt. They tried to cover it up by crossing their arms during the whole interview, which made them seem even more nervous.
And then there are those classic moments when a phone goes off in an interview. One candidate’s ringtone was an embarrassing pop song, and when they fumbled to silence it, it led to an awkward laugh that broke the ice but also made it hard to get back on track.
