Job InterviewsIf it's not the "where do you see yourself in five years time" question, it's the trick questions they throw at you to make them feel superior. Tell us about your worst job interview and the most unsuited candidates you've seen. BTW: Please don't use the question board to send messages to each other. It makes the whole thing unreadable for everyone else.

Not really a job interview......like a few 'special' people in my sixth form I had the opportunity to apply to Oxford OR Cambridge (Can't apply to both. Why? Perhaps they're nonces, who knows?)
Anyway, had intended to apply to Oxford because it was a damn sight nearer to my 'at home' house, not as much competition and generally sounded less up it's own arse than Cambs.
But noooooo, Mr Knobber the Twonk who handles such applications for the school and helps those students gives me a ticking off and lets me know that you can't reject Cambs for those silly reasons (the home one).
So because I was weak willed (still am, if any ladies what their evil way. Please) I plumped for Cambridge.
Not only did I do an open application and get dumped into the crappist, furthest from anywhere ladies (until recent in Cambs terms) college, Girton, but I arrive with a duffel sports bag thing, school trousers and a blue shirt with no tie. Loads of other feckers in suits. Doh.
Day one with first interview.
Prof: "Hello I'm Professor Gitsworth. Now, why do you want to come to Cambridge?"
Me: "Well actually, Oxford don't do the course I want"
Entirely true as well.
Should have lied and said something about the Masons.
