This is a question Job Interview Disasters

The boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak. "Christ, what a craphole", I said. I think that's the moment I blew it. Tell us how you didn't get the job.

I had trouble with nebulous interview questions
like 'Where do you want to be in 10 years?' and 'What do you see as a weakness in yourself?' until I worked out what it was they wanted to hear.

Before that I used to say that I wanted to be independently wealthy and that my weakness was that I had little patience for bullshit.

Somehow I never got the jobs I wanted.

Never worked that one out.

At the job you are applying for
except that you will be working independently with expanded responsibilities.
