Job Interview DisastersThe boss showed me the shop floor, complete with loose floor tiles, out-of-date equipment and prospective colleagues eyeing me like a raw steak.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.

Your first experienceI've just had that too. Been doing a 'senior' role for the best part of five years, just without the title and salary.
The job was made formal and I didn't get it because I wasn't deemed to 'fit the profile' they were looking for.
The guy they appointed knows dick all about the job in hand, but has the gift of the gab, is ambitious (ie will do anything to make himself look good) and sucks corporate cock with the best of them.
In the interview we had to give a presentation on management style, I gave the wankiest corporate speak (all genuinely culled from business websites) imaginable, then translated it all back into plain english.
I was told in my feedback they felt I was (exact words) "taking the piss out of us"
