Work: Lost in the sauce

Lost in the sauce

By sifa - 10/04/2009 07:06 - Malaysia

Today, I went for a lunch interview for my dream job. The interview was great and at the end, I tried to seal the deal by complimenting my future boss. I said, "You're really hardworking. Do you always work on a Saturday?" He looked at me, smiled and then wrote something down. Today's Friday. FML

Today, I had a phone interview with my potential new boss. I was getting excited about the prospects of landing a great job. I had nailed every question the man asked me and right after he told me he'll call me tomorrow if he wants me to come in I sweetly said, "Talk to you tomorrow, Love you" FML

Today, I had an important job interview. The interviewer really seemed to like me. Instead of hiring me, he asked me out on a date. FML

Falling at the first hurdle

Today, I went to a job interview super early and giddy with enthusiasm. While waiting in the lobby, I struck up a friendly conversation with a bloke who was also waiting around in a suit. I jokingly told him, “Good luck mate, but I’m getting this job.” Turns out he was the hiring manager. FML

Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML

Objectification

Today, at a job interview, my interviewer bent forward and I admired his ass. When he turned, I couldn't tell if he caught me or not. At the end of the interview he shook my hand in congratulations of getting the job, then said, "Yes, I do work out." I have to see him every day now. FML

Today, I was talking to my boss at the end of an awesome internship. He said he was really satisfied with my work, and that he had considered hiring me. Turns out he decided not to because I smile too much, and it freaks him out. FML

Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML

Toxic workplace goals!

Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML

Don't really see how that would effect the rest of the interview.

How do you not know what day of the week it is? Especially if you have an important appointment like a job interview.

It's not really just the that you forgot the day. He also knows that you consider it "working too hard" if you work on Saturdays. This implies that your lazy. Sorry about that.

See since I used your as you're and didn't change it in time implies that I was lazy. This effectively destroyed my whole argument. **** the english language.

#19 FTW! Aside from that, ya tried to compliment him & get him to like you, he probably wrote that your a kiss ass but if you did good in the interview overall, it shouldn't affect anything really. If you were meant to get it, you will.

Oh shitty, I've done something like that before. I was invited back to a second interview in late February during a job interview, and I said, "Great, I look forward to February!" . . . it already was February. So the guy just sort of smiled, looked confused, and said "yes, so just remember, this will be February 21st, two weeks from now..." In short, I understand: it's easy to get nervous and forget the day during an interview. :)
