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.

At my Oxford interview I...- walked into the room and fell flat on my face having tripped over the edge of the rug, which gave me an attack of hiccups that lasted the rest of the interview
- used the words "big slut" when asked to describe a character in a play
- used the word "suposably" at least twice, interspersed with loud, involuntary hiccups
- made myself laugh so much at my own hiccups that they had to send me out of the room to "get a glass of water and calm down"
I got in. Never heard the story of the Wadham chicken-buggerer, but the legend of the guy who vomited into the tutor's lap is, I can reveal, all true. He lives next door.
Must have been a dry year...
