So someone I know told me today they had a horrible job interview, and it got me to thinking, that's one thing I've never posted about here or solicted other people to - interviews.

The worst interview I ever had, I think, outstrips the usual "bad" interview. We've all forgotten things and rambled or "uh uh uh" - but how many of you have started crying at your interviewer, then flailed your arms around and semi-ranted how there are no jobs even if you know what you're doing? I interviewed with this sizable PR firm in the city where I was living in 2001, and it just went south pretty fast. I had been out of work for some time, was sick of applying and either being told I wasn't qualified enough, or overeducated for the jobs for which I applied. I knew I wasn't going to get this PR job - even though I was well qualified for the writing part of it - and just took my annoyance out on the woman. Fortunately, she was nicer than me and merely gave me some advice for future interviews, and then, mercifully, let me go.

What's your worst interview ever? Can you beat mine? ;-)
