Needless to Say I Didn't Get the Job

The interview was going great but my fly was down and unfortunately my interviewer saw a little too much of me (my penis).

The Long Sneeze

I had a cold , and when I entered the interview I started non stop sneezing for 5 minutes. It was hilarious. I actually laughed because it was the first time in my life I had ever sneezed so long. I felt the interviewer wanted to kill me.

A Mistake

When asked "How would you react if somebody had pointed out a mistake you'd made?", I replied "Well, that'd be fine, people point out my mistakes all the time - I don't mind".

Nervous Hands

I was offered a cup of water at the start of the interview and I accepted it. During the Q&A I talked with my hands and accidently knocked over my cup of water all over the table.

The Little Red Dress

The dress one applicant wore for a pre-school teacher position was firetruck red and way too little. She couldn't pull it down far enough when she sat down to cover even a couple of inches of her thighs!

Too Much Coffee

I had too much coffee in more ways than one. I should never have accepted the coffee offered by the interview. I spilled the first cup and after the second I needed the restroom.
