- r/Askreddit In today's episode we've got stories of people who endure some of the worst job interview experiences imaginable -- including some stories from yours truly, rSlash! I once got dragged around a strange town for a whole day, unpaid, while some guy tried to convince me to do a sales job after I expressly told the interview people that I do not want a sales job. Do you have any terrible interview stories?

I realized while rercording this that I have not one but TWO terrible interview stories.
What's your terrible interview experience?
Dog water
Heyo
Sup
I'm taking a job interview today thanks rslash for the nightmare full
@@bob4ife oof
rSlash: *Being professional and serious*
One stress fart: I'm gonna ruin this mans whole career.
And tell the world you ate Taco Bell
Rudi Guiliani 2020.
OP: *Being professional and serious*
One stress fart: I'm gonna ruin this mans whole career.
rSlash: *Being professional and serious*
One stress fart: Ah shit, Here we go again.
Well, it certainly was one way to tell someone "I don't give a shit".
This is usually the most fun parts of these videos, listening to him attempt to keep it together for the sake of content
"I told them I couldn't answer their questions, farted audibly out of stress and thanked them for their time". This wasnt a bad interview it was a brilliant one!
With extra Taco Bell
That had me rollingđ€Ł
RIP R/
Reminded me of step brothers
Thx everyone who liked my comment. This is my most liked comment!
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Rslash: *reads âfartâ* *laughs uncontrollably for 2 minutesâ
His laughing made me laugh đ€đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
@@adriennec26 Same!! I giggle like a idiot
I legit will go in a giggle fit by hearing a fart so... XD
I like how it took rslash 30 seconds to read the one sentence because of âfarted audibly out of stressâ
Funny to some, and irritating to others.
Hey, he's a processional.
Best part of the video.
Worst part definitely
Hey...that shit's funny. Like, even if it was you, you can't seriously NOT look back at that and be like, "God damn it, I really just ruined a good opportunity by blasting the booty trumpet, didn't I?" whilst cracking a smirk and/or giggling like an idiot. XD
What interviewers don't seem to realize is that it is also their first imression of them and how it will be working there. If you act like an asshole the workplace will seem toxic, and such.
My thoughts exactly! They clearly haven't considered the fact that newcomers will be looking for both nonverbal and verbal cues during their interview,so if your interviewer acts like a toxic,rude person,then they'll feel like the entire workplace is toxic and rude.
I went to a job interview where the woman interviewing me basically kept telling me over and over again âwe ainât hiring you because you arenât employed anywhere else cos we donât want to bother training you. But just in case we canât find anyone better blah blah blahâ. The website where I applied for the job allows for employees to review the business. I read the reviews and found out I dodged a major bullet.
That to me shows its gonna be the most fucking awful experience with low pay. FUCK THAT!
@@PurpledaisyShasta what were the reviews
@@SilverVolo basically the managers yell at and abuse staff. They do things like tell the staff conflicting ways to do said task and yell at them for not doing it that way. The google reviews also say that they yell at customers
"Take. The. Hershey's. Or. The. Snickers!!!"
"Okay."
Takes both and leaves.
Hershey's taste like...blah
@@The_Ancient_Guardian your opinion is your own but personally I love hersheys
@@laurawolfsong3607 same
I don't like either, but hey! Free candy! I've done far worse!
They should have specified XOR.
Pro tip: If there's ever a question in a job interview you feel way too uncomfortable answering, chances are it's probably illegal to ask.
Ooooh, very good point! It's been awhile since I last interviewed for a job, but I remember I prepped for illegal questions (which I luckily did not get). Women especially get asked illegal questions like if they plan to get married or have kids
Technically itâs illegal to ask someone how old they are in an interview unless the job has an age restriction like bar tending
I don't think it's legal to ask someone if they have a girlfriend like the guy at the street sweeper interview.
@@dx1450 it is 100% NOT legal (in the US) to ask an applicant about their marital or relationship status.
Thanks, that helped me lots, I was nervous when they asked my name and remembered your tip, sued and won!
rSlash: Don't go to a secondary location
John Mulaney: Street Smarts
I've seen the dude he was talking about on video. Made it even more hilarious.
@@jjohnston94uh for no specific reason at all where did you see the video
@@mjp7671 Don't remember exactly, but probably a safety meeting at work.
Look at them feminine hips
Thatâs exactly what I thought of
Nobody:
R/slash: i told them i couldn't answer their quetio-hehehehehehahahahahah
*Something's wrong i can feel it*
I love how he was given a "doot doot" award
OP: *interviews at a county street sweeper*
Interviewer: so, do you have a girlfriend?
*It was time for OP to leave. He had seen everything*
"And what would you like to avoid in this job?"
"As a street sweeper, I'd prefer to avoid being run over if possible."
In my experiences as a street sweeper the higher-ups do not like people with too much insight and/or intelligence. Basically they want people who are intelligent enough to be trained and not walk under the bus but do not question their authority.
I absolutely love when rSlash breaks down laughing while yelling at himself to keep it together, even if I didnât find the story funny just hearing him die laughing makes me die laughing.
I had one of those "door to door sales" interviews as well. Mine was advertised as a "Marketing" job. I get to the place and go through a basic question interview, and then they have me meet with the manager and another associate who they want me to "shadow for the day so I get a feel for the job".. We haven't even discussed salary, benefits, or hours.. and they wanted me to start training. After they explain to me what the actual job is (door to door sales of these "coupon books" featuring local restaurants) I stop and say to the boss, "Um, I thought this was for a marketing position, not a sales position". He smiled smugly and says "This IS a marketing position. You are marketing these books to people. Now go with random guy #1 here and he will show you the job". I thanked him and gathered my things and walked out with the other guy. Once we get to the parking lot, I turn to him and say "Sorry, this isn't for me. I am not looking for a sales job." and I just walk away... Best decision I ever made.
This is kinda like those fake smartphone-game-ads who show completely different gameplay etc.
I will never understand that tactic "Hey, let's lure them with something completely different, maybe they stay!" đ
The Hershey's Snickers interviewer reminds me of little kids who try to act nice then go, "No, I get this one, you get that one"
Narcissist and or control freak....imho.
I think she tried to test OP's debating ability.
I thought it was a scene from The Office at first
My worst job interview would be the guy who wouldn't hire me because I'm female. The excuse he gave me was that I'd be outdoors all day and he didn't think I could handle the heat, but then he hired a ginger kid.
Edit: it was a car wash, I would have been spraying tires all day. And I didn't think to sue for gender discrimination because I was 17.
I basically got the same thing, but they defended calling me in for an interview by saying âI thought you miss spelled Evan on your resume...â
That is gender discrimination. Hope you reported them.
@@evabelle5284 Ouch. My mother goes by a shortened version of her name that happens to be a man's name. She's had many job interviews where they lost interest upon learning she's a woman.
Same thing has happened to me- first name Alex causes a lot of confusion
@@evabelle5284 Wow that's crazy, they were willing to hire a guy who cant spell his own name on his resume but won't hire a woman who can spell her own name? Madness
I love to listen to these while getting ready. Itâs like my very own podcast đ
Too real
Hey did you know that rslash also does podcasts?
He has a Podcast on Spotify just search Rslash
I listen to rslash all night on Spotify

About 5 years ago I had an interview at a factory, and during the interviewer asked me why I was no longer at my old job. My response was, "I'll be honest, there was just a major personality conflict between me and one of my co workers, everyone else liked me but he was higher up on the totem pole." This turned into at 20 minute verbal attack about how I need to be able act responsible and be nice and respectful, and every question after that she shot hole in my answers, and had the audacity to hand me a business card and say they'll call me if they had another opening. (I gave her no details as to what caused the personality conflict, but she just assumed I was a 20 year old punk with no respect. News flash bitch, respect is earned, not given and she nor the dick from the other job earned it)
Agreed. I don't care who you are or how high you're ranked, Respect is earned, not given.
What a witch! Any update on how the company is fairing?
Hope life is going well for you now :)
I might have ripped up the card and dropped the pieces in her lap.
6 hours, that should've come with a paycheck...
Similar to the one story - I worked at a company that did group interviews. One group had two people with similar names and the new secretary called the wrong one to offer him a job and then they just went with it. I had to train him and recommended they fire him on the first day. They didn't, and he sexually harrassed the teenagers who worked there, begged a single mom to take his virginity, tried to follow a 17 year old home after learning he was bi, and do a crap job for over a year. He was finally fired after saying something racist despite us complaining about his sexual harassment from day one.
"tried to follow a 17 year old home"
Y I K E S
Rslash: âAlright, I can do this.â
Rslash Halfway through the sentence two seconds later: *Breaks down*
Like John Mulaney says, âYOUâRE NOT TAKING ME TO A SECONDARY LOCATION!!â
John Mulany is just đ
STREET SMARTS!
"Sorry, I can't answer any of your questions." *Farts loudly* "Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk."
LMAO XDDD so freakin random.
My mom was in college when she got offered a job and the interview was behind this old building. It had crazy good pay and benefits. My grandma and my great grandma sat her down and said it was probably a trafficking scheme.
Glad that your mum didn't go to the interview đł
Worst job interview I've ever had:
*interview with the District Court of (large city in MA) for financial position, one of two final interviewees for second interview*
Interviewer : what are the three branches of government?
Me : executive, legislative, and... and...
I couldn't remember judicial. The branch I was applying for a position for
rip
you mean you were actually interviewed? guess you were the token person who was on the list to make it appear that the position was open but the other one was actually already getting the job because they knew one of the court employees
@@bostonrailfan2427 thanks for that, jerk.
Oh lord the number of "marketing" job interviews that have turned out to be door-to-door sales I've sat in are depressingly high. I guess that's how they sucker in inexperienced college kids desperate for cash
Or the amount of admin office jobs that turn out to be cold calling sales jobs...
happened to me :/ sleazy fucks
Pretty much! I can't tell you the number of "Marketing" Jobs that I interviewed for that was suppose to be Entry Level. Only to find out during the interview its a freaking SALES Job! One was literally a door to door/Rubbermaid Party Sales. I stayed for the whole interview b/c there was at least ten others there. Politely told the guy that this isn't a good fit for me but thank you for your time.
The other one was for a Cable Company. It said Marketing Department on the Job Ad and on the Application that I filled out. It was a Sale job! I be the one calling people or going to door to door to sell to people. I again politely said thank you for the interview and knew right then there that I wasn't getting the job! And if they did call me back, I would've politely decline!
*cough*Cutco*cough*
My worst job interview started off fine, this was in the early 2000's. I had gotten there first, because travel was a little far, so I left home very early to be able to get there without issue and I was asked to jump the queue. All seemed fine, they asked me questions, but when I asked them about what the job actually entailed (The advert was slightly unclear) They said that there wasn't a job opening with their company. They wanted CV's and to interview candidates in case they ever needed to hire someone and create a database of possible hires. I just got up and walked out of the interview as I was thinking "WTF?!". I them told every other person waiting to be interviewed that they were dicking us around and there wasn't any job opening. The others looked at me like didn't believe me until one of my interviewers came in and asked why I walked out and I said "There's no job here, you just want to interview us for a position that doesn't exist" and he just said "So? What you are doing is extremely unprofessional and you wouldn't be added to their database of potential future hires if you didn't come back in and continue the interview". Everyone else waiting to be interviewed got pissed at hearing this and walked out with me, which was about 10-20 people. The Interviewers, who I think were the owners, were screaming at everyone to come back as we all left.
How long until that company went under?
@@florian8599 Sadly it was a bigish company with multinational ties. They are still around, they got bought out by a bigger company though. Not going to say who the company is as the company will sue me. I was only going for a low entry level job.
Yeah I mean, itâs not like people who show up for job interviews are looking for employment ... you know, like now đ dumb company
R/Slash laughing his butt off at the fart story made me laugh just as much as he did.
My worst "interview" experience was when I was scheduled for an interview at Jimmy Johns. I arrived for the interview on time and they told me "sorry the manager isn't here".
They thought your name was Karen, and he was hiding in the back, lol!
i had an interview to do one of my internships in a printing place (im a designer) and they were really nice to me BUT when they showed me how everything worked, the worker showcasing it was VERBALLY ABUSED by the interviewer that was also the owner of the place. he was awful and treated this (extremely polite and nice) young girl like crap. i'm not usually confrontational because i have anxiety but when i see something like this i dont shut up. I waited until they finished showing me everything, i sat down with him at the desk and WENT OFF on how he was an abusive piece of shit that he was insane if he thought i was gonna work with him, i told the girl that no matter how much she needs that job, she can't allow to be abused like that. took my backpack and fucking left. it was horrible and i hope the girl got away from there
"You aren't allow to get sick."
That's illegal.
I mean Starbucks said so until corona happened lol
Me: I can't come in
Boss: i don't care
Me: bUt i'M dEaD
Funnily enough an old boss of mine tried to fire me for having to miss work ONE DAY because I had broken my toe (unknowingly, I slid into a desk and smashed my toe) and worked and walked on it for 2 days after breaking it before the pain became to much and I had to go to the doctors to see what was wrong. I had a doctors note that said I wasn't allowed to go to work for 4 days and that I wasn't allowed to be on my feet unless absolutely necessary for those 4 days (bathroom and stuff) and I spent 8 weeks with my toes taped together, taking Aleve like it was a prescription, and limping the fastest anyone has probably ever seen.
my Job Interview: I was sitting with 4 people in a room...I did not even know who exactly they were, because they did not introduce themselves....was a bit weird situation, because I did not know who I had to talk to....
guy: "Yeah, Miss ..... I see you want to take a job in this company. So what job exactly do you want to take?"
me: "Well, I have a graduation in ..., so I want to work at a job in this position or maybe in a similar one."
guy: "Yeah, we have some open positions, which one would you like to take?"
me: "Can you tell me which exact positions are open to take?"
guy: "Just tell me which job you want to take."
me: totally confused
The door to door salesman story reminded me of one time I came home and my boyfriend had a stranger there. I was confused and then I saw it. The vacuum. I told him next time just say you have it. The guyâs boss who was driving around abandoned him at our house! He didnât know what to do because we didnât want it and his boss wouldnât answer. After two and a half hours the boss finally shows up. What did he do? He saw it wasnât sold and tried to start all over with the pitch. They were gone quicker than the guy could say did he tell you about... I was mad. I donât blame the guy who got left but wtf how is that a sells technique?!
Well obviously you have to buy it if you want them to leave! But seriously, why would you just abandon someone at a strangers house??
It's a sales technique used by shady af companies.
"im a professional"
Me:"no*laughing*your not"
I mean heâs been doing it for a year and you never know he might be
He's actually had this channel for 2 years, and then his gaming channel a little longer. He IS a professional youtuber at this point.
Lmao listening to r/Slash unable hold back his laughter to what is essentially a fart joke is just too funnyđđđ
See you later, alligator!
But as most professional comedians know, laughing at oneâs own jokes makes them less funny. Laughter due to references to sex and to toilet functions is evidence of nervousness and, I think, not at all funny.
I had an interviewer drive me to a secondary location to meet his boss, his boss didn't like me in the end.
The guy interviewing me said that he was going to kill me (in a kinda joking way) for embarrassing him and he left me there in the other location...
Never gone to another interview since, it was traumatising.
there are courses for interviews, it may help you boost your confidence, don't give up
*R/slash starts laughing at the word fart*
It is confirmed that r/slash is a child
Lol, so am I.
My interview was supposed to start at 10 am. I arrived 5 min early. 15 min later they brought me inside the open plan office and left sitting on a folding chair. I could see everyone & it was an inefficient mess. They kept me waiting another 30 min and I figured, why the heck would I want to work for a company that was such a hot mess? I walked out.
That's what a lot of people don't understand... job interviews are also for the prospective employee to determine if they want to work there. If something doesn't feel right, then nope the heck out.
RSlash: *reads letâs not meet stories*
Also RSlash : *goes to a second location with a rando driving*
My boyfriend's sister went for a engineering interview as that's what she took at college
When she arrived the interviewer said "oh, you're a girl I thought Charley is a boys name"
She walked out
Then I went to a interview at a place that was fairly close to me
A bit difficult to get to but the interviewer assured me getting to the location would be easier
The offered me the job but said they were moving the company to London and wanted to know if I wanted to be one of the first at their new location
They never posted anything about relocating
So I declined
While i've never had a "bad" interview, my weirdest one was my boss drenched in sweat, stopping by his secretary's desk where I was signing the application. He asked if I can start Monday, and I nodded with a twinge of confusion and he said "Good deal" then went back down stairs where I heard heavy equipment start back up. I love this job and my boss.
Here's my worst interview story:
I am a horse person. I've worked with horses for almost 13 years now, and have a lot of experience with them. So I've always looked for jobs in the horse world.
One day I saw an add for a position at a tack shop (place that sells saddles and all that stuff). I was so excited and immediately called the guy. He set up an interview for later that day. I printed out a resume, dressed nice (clean jeans and a button up plaid shirt even though it was hot), and did my makeup. I figured it's an interview, I need to look nice. I drove about 45 minutes to this place, and when I got there the owner greeted me and asked me to wait up in the shop while he helps some out of state customers that came to look at a horse.
I waited almost 2 hours to see this guy. When he finally came to interview me we just stood in his carriage house and talked. I handed him my resume and he said, "what is this?" I replied, "my resume..." And he never looked at it. He talked AT me for almost another hour. Telling me about the position, and saying things like, "You know...if you got a job here you would have to actually WORK." and, "Go home and make sure it's okay with your husband if you work." I thought to myself I know I'd have to work...that's why I'm here!
I think he assumed I was some lil housewife who wanted to be around pretty ponies, and sell saddles. He never got to know me. I left pissed off, called him a couple days later and basically said, "I think I'm over qualified for your position, but I don't want to drive that far to work for you."
IM LAUGHING SO HARD OMG AFTER THE FART AN AD CAME ON AND THE FIRST THING THEY SAID WAS, "I just landed my dream job." OMFG
Jesus Rslash, the story you told when you got in a car with that interviewer gave me so much anxiety. How to end up as a human traffiking victim x-x
heâs lyingâŠ
@@bostonrailfan2427 Thank you for your input, random person I've never heard of. It's not like MLM's always pull the 'driving around' thing and there's multiple stories about it to back up Rslash.
Excuse my gruffness. I was excited for a response for some open conversation. This was lackluster and disappointing.
RSlash laughing so hard he can't read is always gold!! It makes me laugh too
That laughing fit was exactly what I needed this morning đ
RSlash: I'm a professional, I can do this!
Also RSlash: *can't read the story about farting audibly without breaking into fits of laughter*
Plus that 'thank you for your time' sounds like someone who's just realized they followed through in the same moment...
"It's stupid, dangerous, dumb, stupid, and oh did I say stupid? because it's really stupid."
-rSlash, 2021
Itâs impressive that rSlash can turn a five-second long sentence into a two-minute long essay lmao
Just add laughter
He actually skips alot to make the stories shorter
@@Zisn and yet fake laughed at a fart joke.
seriously, the laughing was fake
I applied online for CVS. They then texted me âcall this number if you wanna interviewâ so I did. They started off the interview normally then they asked me âdo you plan on furthering your education in the futureâ I thought if I said no it would look bad so I said I might be interested in the future but not right now. Next thing I knew they transferred me to a college recruiter. I thought if I sat through it Iâd get back to the interview. Next thing I know they said âok Iâm gonna send your information to Grand Canyon university for a masters in humanitiesâ and t told them not to do that and I just wanted a job for the pandemic. They hung up on me. I went to the CVS to talk about this and they proceeded to tell me that that wasnât their number and they werenât hiring.
it can be dangerous applying for jobs online, it may be a scam, i saw reports of people applying for jobs and sending their CVs, then they heard nothing else from them, and then suddenly they were facing charges from the police because apparently somebody created illegal sites they resulted the owner
rSlash: I have a degree in writing.
Me: Oh, yeah. Makes sense. That's why he changes the sentences he's reading from time to time.
yeah, completely ignores whatâs written in front of him but spends a lot of time crafting a bunch of lies that he struggles to keep track of because he tries to keep himself unknown even though he told everyone his name and showed his face and home
R Slash laughing uncontrollably made the fart story even better.
Worst Interview I ever had was when I was fresh out of school. I applied for a trainee job as dental technician, and I had a few good interviews. Because my grades where so good, a lot of interviewers where concerned that I would quit the job at some point to start to study (which I did, in a completely different field, but not because I had the grades to do it, but because the place who ended up hiring me sucked lol).
Anyhow I once had an interview where my mom drove me to in the morning. She waited outside while I got in. I sat in the waiting area for a while, and the two other traineeÂŽs passed me. Both beautiful, skinny blonde girls. I thought nothing of it and went in for the interview. The Boss, bold, beer-belly, mid-forties guy was ok at first, asked me about my interests and what makes me think that I am right for the job. So I tell him. Thant I am a very chill person and like spending time at home, being creative. He asks if I go out, and do stuff outside a lot. I chuckle and say, in a joking way. "No I am more the couch potato gal, I love writing and drawing and crafting." Mind you I have had all AÂŽs when I finished school, so he could see on my resume I was not a lazy person.
Eventually, he starts looking me up and down (I am brunette, and overweight), and starts berating me on, that if I want that job, I need to do some kind of sports because " This is a dynamic job. You will have to move a lot, and this will be veeeeeeery exhausting". Besides the fact that I never had a job where I sat more on my a** than as a dental technician (even now in the museum I work in I need to move more, even though I do a lot of office stuff), I may be overweight but I am not physically disabled. I can walk, and stand and everything.
I was just so shocked and humiliated, that insecure 19 yo me just sat there and sheepishly said. "Oh well ok, I can see that. Maybe I could take some badminton, or dancing classes. Those are fun...", "NO, no I mean a reeeeeaaaaal Sport! A team sport, like soccer or Rugby!". I was just nodding along with it all, near to tears. When the interview ended and I got outside I bawled my eyes out in the car. My mom was ready to go inside to kick that guys a** , but I begged her not to do it, because I had the very real concern, he would badmouth me at other dental laboratoryÂŽs. Well Iike I said, I ended up getting a job somewhere else, and although the two bosses there whereÂŽnt feminists either, they still hired me because of my artistic, crafty talent rather then my looks.
I am just so angry that I haveÂŽnt had the guts to tell this son of a b**** where he can shove it. The laboratory actually called me back for a day of test-training, but I had enough guts at least to decline the offer. I doubt I would even remember this guys face, but If I did, and would run into him again I would count him out. I seriously hope his two other trainees, who seem to fit his "taste" a lot better, where ok, and nothing more happened to them.
Well it all worked out for the best. I started studying, started in the museum I am now, make a better salary with half the hours of work then as a dental technician etc. and I am greatly appreciated for all the work I do. I am the one to go for, for most crafty works on the exhibitions (which, you guessed it, are all physically demanding, I wonder why my fat body isn't in the way lol). So yeah. All turned out ok. Just a reminder to all who have similar sexist, and degrading experiences in an interview. Do not tolerate it. Stand up and leave. You are not someones fetish object or slave. If the interviewer is not professional, there is no more need for you to be and sit through it. Leave for your own dignity and sanity.
the way he said "our first reply is from bippityboppityboo" had me dying. said it so seriously but that only made it funnier
Oof this reminded me of my most awkward interview... I was applying to work at a local chocolate store and the owner was super intimidating so I started to freeze up. To get to know me he started asking me where me and my family were from. I told him, how my dad lives in a certain town and my mom and sister live in my hometown(not gonna say for safety reasons but they were two different towns about an hour apart). And he asked if my âparents werenât together?â I told him yes and he responded with âoh that sounds messyâ it made me feel super uncomfortable and upset
My worst was while interviewing for Shoe sales Associate, the interviewer saw I had experience as a babysitter and instead wanted to hire me for that. Every question from them on was how to take care of his kids
When ur school makes ur schedule an hour earlier so now u gotta wait till first period till u can watch rslashđâ
Wireless earphones and a hoodie got u XD
My worst interview was when the store manager kept asking why I wasn't applying for jobs where my degree would be necessary and wouldn't let it go even after I explained to her that archaeology jobs are usually short contract work. She harped on how I should be looking for a job that has to do with my degree for over 10 minutes. When I finally got her off that train of thought she asked me why I hadn't dressed up for the interview because they expect their employees to dress well. I was wearing a well fitting pair of jeans and a cute blouse but apparently that wasn't fashionable enough. The interviewer then went on to explain why each piece of my outfit was unfashionable and how that's not appropriate when applying at a shoe store. I'd like to note that the interviewer was wearing layered thin strapped tank tops and super lower rise jeans which are items of clothing that make me look horrendous. It was so embarrassing because the interview was being held in a public area of the mall and passersby could hear everything. I was so shocked I just sat there. After it was done I went into the bathroom to cry because I've never been so mocked for my looks. The interviewer even made fun of me for not wearing makeup. I didn't get the job but even if they had offered there's not enough money in the world to make working there worth it. I wish I had been able to come out of the shock fast enough to walk out of the interview early but it was like my body froze. Some people are just awful.
Take it
No
TAKE IT
okay
WHY DID TOU TAKE IT?!
Everyone; terrible interview stories
Me, a 16-soon-to-be-17 year old whose jobless due to fear social interaction, but knowing ill have to get a job soon: oh thanks. Now i know what *not* to do :)
If the workers have colorful hair or tattoos, you'll be fine. I went in for an interview where the manager had orange hair and facial piercings, and the other worker had blue hair and tattoos. I got hired on the spot because they deemed me, "A precious cinnamon roll in need of adoption." Didn't matter that I had no work experience, I was just really nice, anxious, and had a concise resume.
Bring two resumes to the interview so the hiring manager can keep one, they love that stuff! That's all the advice I have right now, maybe someone else can add to this!
Good luck!
@@RowanAvery1375 Thank you! appossed to what my profile pic might show, i havea mullet thats black and the sides are pink, so i was particularly scared that i wouldn't get a job due to my hair
I've had some good and bad interviews--although most of them are not extraordinary--the place I'm working at now, the CEO just called me out of the blue after I applied for a job there and I didn't even know it was an interview until he said "we'd like to offer you a job here." I ended up not doing the job I initially applied for, but I mentioned I can do another job that it turns out they only had one person to do who's a department head--so they have me on that other job. Which is fine, because it's what I prefer to do anyway. I applied to be an animator and ended up doing rigging (which means I set models up for the animators)
(why the CEO himself? Cause it's a small start up)
rSlash is living proof that potty humour turns even the most mature adult into a kid
Oh man, that last one reminded me of an interview that I went on in high school!
I was doing a work study program through my school in junior year, had sent out a ton of resumes and gotten a few calls back. No one wanted me though because I was a girl doing carpentry. Finally, I got an email from someone asking me to call their secretary and come in. They didnât write my name at the top of the email (red flag 1). I call the secretary and make an appointment for my interview. When I get there everyone ignored me until I called the front desk right in front of them (red flag 2). I say Iâm there for an interview and the receptionist says âsorry, but we donât have any secretarial positions available. Maybe youâre in the wrong office.â (Red flag 3...). I assured her that I was there for the carpentry position and even showed the emails I had gotten. Finally I get to see the hiring manager. He takes one look at me and scoffs. He asked who I was and what I wanted because Iâm taking up his time being there without an appointment. I explain to him too that I DO have an appointment. I give him another copy of my resume, he takes a look at it and says âoh, your name is actually Eva. As in, youâre a girl... I thought you had just accidentally miss spelled your name and meant to put Evan!â And with that I left
Sounds like a toxic, sexist work environment.
I was interviewed at a dental clinic. When she saw me, she was like, "oh, its you again. (Ugh sound)". I completely messed it and acted like I didn't care. "Well you know. I didn't like that place. Manager was a pain in the behind. I don't lik talking to people, and I wanna make 15 an hour with no experience."
OH LAWD. That reminds me of the one time I went in for an interview for a job, they told me it was customer service. I go in, they say they love my personality, and ask me to come back the next day. I go the next day, and they take me and four others in a van and say they want to drive us to another location for the second portion of the interview. I stupidly get in the van and we drive NEARLY TWO HOURS NORTH. I know NOBODY in this van. We pull up to this really nice neighborhood. Turns out, it was for selling KIRBY VACUUMS. He wanted us to go door to door and try to get people to test try the vacuum. He dumped us off AND LEFT US. ALONE. TWO HOURS AWAY. IN AN UNKNOWN NEIGHBORHOOD. Freak out was an unstatement for what I did. So we walked to someone's house and explained the situation. They let us stay there while they got to clean their house (for free) with the kirby. The manager wasn't answering their phone btw. We stayed there for four hours. It was terrible.
Jesus. What happened when the manager came back (I'm assuming they did as you're still alive)?
give the kirby as a gift to the nice family and call a taxi to the nearest train station to get home!
@@joanneking170 He apologized and said that "another associate" was suppose to be with us but they never showed. Bought up food. Took us back. We all left and, I assume none of them took the job. I know I didn't.
@@insideAdirtyMind We don't have train stations in the south. I think.. Two? None of which were near me. But we did "accidentally" leave the Kirby with the family. Manager got mad. Tried billing the family for the vacuum. I haven't heard anything since then. đ€·đ»ââïž
rSlash: **laughing uncontrollably**
Me: *You're scaring me*
OMG, nothing is funnier than you losing it trying to read something. đ
Mine was the interviewer being 2 hours late, unprepared, had never carried out an interview before, and didn't even ask for my references (I know because I didn't have one, only a teacher from work experience years before) - I still took the job, and that's that on being a âšpoor studentâš
Retail worker : I met a Karen today
Rslash ; I made myself a hostage for free
About 20 years ago, I attended an interview within the care charity I was already employed with, but a location about 2 hours drive away. 3 of the interviewers were lovely, but the psychologist (who I'd be reporting to) didn't blink. For context, the aircon was on full blast, which the chief interviewer apologised for at the start, meaning the air was cold, dry and all of us were blinking furiously. All of us except the weirdo psychologist, that is. She just kept staring, unblinking, until eventually I excused myself, told them I wasn't comfortable, and drove 2 hours home. No WAY was I going to liase with that freaky woman and her dead, glassy eyes.
I love it when you decide to keep your Genuine Laughter & Honest Reactions while trying to read a post in your videos!
It always makes me smile/laugh a little bit more than if you hadnât! đđđ
The âchose a candy barâ sounds like the interviewer was their 6 year old child
On the last one, I liked how Rslash did the pause to emphasize the awkward silence. I appreciate that kind of effective storytelling.
How funny would it be if everytime Rslash makes a pun, his wife sprays him with a spray bottle đ
Iâm a 35 year old detective and my first attempt at my local department and the police station was attacked by Mexican mafia and I wasnât hired because they thought I hired the mafia to get me hired. Then the FBI hired me a week later
They hired me because I found out 3 days later that the police department was so corrupted that the FBI was looking into them and then they talked to me about trying again so they can determine why the mafia attacked the police department nobody was harmed but me and that was suspicious so I was already investigating their cold cases and I solved 5 cases in 3 days and discovered that they were covering for the mafia and 3 quarters of the department was Latino and who wasnât wanted me because they were basically tortured almost no money and working 40 hours in 3 days so they were happy when I joined the FBI and handed them a 5 page document explaining everything
I think weâre all glad rSlash decided to do CZcams instead
In my very first interview, they kept asking me hypothetical questions about what other people would say about me. I was like "um...I don't have any friends...and...this interview is about me, not their opinions about me." Confused me to no end. They didn't call me back. I'm glad they didn't because now I work at a grueling job with incredible managers and coworkers that I could never ask for better.
Hearing rSlash giggle uncontrollably for two minutes over the words *farted audibly* is the most adorable thing on the internet since the arrival of Baby Yoda.
When rslash was talking about his 2 story i though the company wanted to use rSlashes channel for marketing at first lol.
Or using him as a free consultant to set up and run the company's own CZcams channel.
See if it were me I would have started snickering and grabbed the Snickers. When she would inevitably yell at me to "get back here" I would have said "But mam now we both got Snickers."
8:09. Wow! Almost 40 seconds to get through a single sentence. And yeah, pretty much everyone was laughing along with you, because laughter is contagious. Thanks for leaving that in!
At one interview I was asked if I suffered from Lacka-soapia. I said "No, I suffer from that Hawaiian disease called Lacka-moolah and that's why I'm here."
Oh yeah, this gives me all kinds of confidence for my interview tomorrow-
When slash started laughing, i start laughing along.
His laugh is so contagious--
I am glad you are a fulltime youtuber. I love it when you can barely get through the story from laughing. I like the company of real people. I have no bad interviews but when I was hunting for internship one interviewer felt so sorry for me they sent me a lovely letter on how to improve my performance. I learned and got a result at the next one.
This reminds me of a job story. This wasn't a typical interview, but more of a 'work and try it out' kind of deal.
For context: I'm autistic and it affects me both mentally and physically. Online I'm fine because I can take my time to word stuff, but in real life I fold like wet paper. I can't do face-to-face interviews because I just shut down, and I need help to get through it.
So what I did about ten years ago is: I joined what was called an Enclave, where we would come to different job sites, try out the job for an hour or two, tell them how we felt about it, and if it didn't work, we'd try a different site. We also experimented on people with the forced evolutionary virus and-uh... never mind.
Anyway, my first job site 'interview' was at a factory where basically I'd sit down beside other people, I'd take some old tuna cans, and I'd fill them with airsoft pellets. And that's basically all I needed to do for an hour. But after a half hour, I was fed up. I was more capable than that, and I knew I would hate working that job. I told my support person that and they took me back to the office where I described my experience, then went home.
A few days later, my mom contacts me and says to me: "Wow! I'm surprised a job like that appealed to you! I would think you'd hate something like that." I didn't know what she was referring to since I didn't have any experiences like that, so I asked her what she meant and she told me: "The factory. [Support Person] sent out a letter informing me and the office that you loved the job and you wanted to work there as soon as possible!" As you can imagine, I was furious that [Support Person] lied about this and was trying to get me a job at this place that I hated. My mom isn't someone who takes shit like that and just lets it fly, so of course we raised hell about it.
We discovered that this person had a track record of making false statements like this, and someone else I worked with told me they knew the person was full of shit because she would use big impressive words to make it sound like she was smart, but there was a point where she used a word that had to do with marine biology when describing how happy a person was. It was a red flag and just served as further proof that this person was just out to excel at her own job by getting people jobs regardless of how we felt about said jobs.
I later heard that she 'left the company' for 'new opportunities'. I'm pretty sure I know what that actually means, but of course they told me in a way that made it seem like they parted on good terms so I wouldn't be like "AW YEAH YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE BITCH!"
As a kid I was asked to help mock interviews in school. Those being interviewed were 4 years older than me. Girl comes out of a catering interview asking me what salmonella was. I told her it was a type of bacteria that caused food poisoning. She said oh no I told them it was a type of sausage....... that'd be salami!
I was just offered a job interview as soon as you posted this... coincidence??!! đłđł
Yeah.
Does anyone else think its super adorable and hilarious when rslash laughs before/while reading a funny post? I find that shit so wholesome
I love when you just can't contain your giggles, it gives me a whole new kind of appreciation for the post and you everytime it happens, keep up the good work man.
R/: "I'm a professional." A professional what?
Comedian?
Rslash: I told them I could-ehehehehehehhehehehehehehe
Me: ehehehehehehhehe
Ehe te nandayo!?
The âScooby Gasâ had me in tears! Your laugh is contagious, just what I needed at this moment! The icing on the cake was your sound effect version of how that interview went, epic.
best part of the 6 hours of being hostage getting McDonalds
I canât believe Iâm late because my sister was scared of a spider đđ
Hell yeah! Morning complete đ
Oh my goodness! The struggle to get that one story out was even better once it was a fart story! Props for leaving that in!
My worst "Interview" was for a MLM. The best interview I had was for a seasonal job I had at a Boy Scout Camp for a number of years. It was at a bar on my SIL's Birthday, and my boss last year looked across the table at me and said," You're coming back to camp right"? I miss you Betty Boop.
21 seconds till I got the notification??? This is an outrageous amount of time before I could comment "first" you cost me this fame! You owe me Rslash!
I was sleeping so I now have to watch this a couple minutes after it was released. I am owed too
Iâve never had a job cus Iâm a kid
Enjoy it while you can. Being able to go to McDonald's or eat ice cream any time you want is NOT that great a part of being an adult.
You will one day. Hopefully this video showed you what to watch out for in the future.
Lol this brings back memories. I wear dentures and during an interview a sudden, completely surprise sneeze came. Seeing my top teeth sitting on their papers instead of my mouth wasnât exactly encouraging. Safe to say I didnât get the job đđ
Ok... lemme just say these last couple minutes of your storyâs is SO ENTERTAINING I love hearing it! Please continue it :)
