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.

Wrong train station ...After uni, I goofed off for some while, then applied for jobs. Was invited to two interviews at two different companies, within the same week.
The first one went without problems and I decided that I'd go to the second one even if I got the first job.
So I get off at what I believe to be the correct train station and start walking in what I think is the right direction. Eventually I figure out that I'm off by several kilometers and I head in the correct direction at an added pace. Make a phone call to explain the situation.
In the end I arrive sweaty and 45 minutes late. They seemed forgiving but I don't think I made a good impression. Fortunately, the night before, the first company had called to offer me a job so I wasn't too bothered..
