What’s your most embarrassing moment in an interview?

 

We asked jobseekers in the automotive industry about their most embarrassing moment during an interview…trust us, this is sure to bring about a few belly laughs! It might even give you a few tips for your next interview…

Want to hear what they said? Read on for some of the best ones…

 

 

Sometimes we can’t stop ourselves once we get going…

“I accidentally swore at the interviewer!”

 

 

 

Many of us are so eager to attend an interview, we might look to get that earlier than the designated time…

“I turned up on the wrong day…”

 

 

 

Don’t forget to take a good look at yourself before you leave the house!

“I attended with my polo shirt on inside out! I felt like a right pleb!”

 

Be prepared to be asked anything…literally anything…

“I was asked to sing a song once…”

 

Many people told us that their interview suffered a case of de ja vu… 

“Once I turned up to an interview and my ex wife happened to be in it. Turns out I was applying for my old job as her husband…”

 

“I recognised the interviewer for a graduate role (years ago) and it was all a bit awkward. I couldn’t place her – had we met? Turns out I apparently pursued her at a nightclub once whilst drunk. I said “I doubt it love, I can’t drink that much” and left…”

 

While for others, it probably wasn’t the best day to be interviewing…

“The person interviewing me was a very hungover Sales Manager, who hollered to a fellow salesman behind me to order him a bacon sandwich from the greasy spoon up the road. I got the job but had trouble respecting him after he turned up for work worse for wear!”
