Have you ever walked out of an interview and had to stand for a second and simply think, did that really happen? If you have, read on and take comfort in the fact that we have found some funny stories from real interviews that might just make you realise yours wasn't as bad as you may think..
So here we go, just for fun, some of the funniest perhaps slightly ridiculous interview stories that we have heard…
A candidate turned up for her interview with her 3 children in tow and asked someone to look after them while she went for a interview - not knowing the person she asked was in fact the hiring manager..
The candidate turned up in an army outfit in the middle of summer, declaring he has a bad sweat problem.
The candidate showed up at the interview with her husband. Recruiter politely suggests he leave for a look around the shops next door. Cue response, “No, I’m staying RIGHT HERE!”
Repeat offence: during several Skype interviews candidates thought it would be okay to have the interview lying in their bed. In their pyjamas.
Another Skype special – a female candidate was being interviewed, and in the background her boyfriend (?) crept out from under the bed and ran past in his boxer shorts…
We hope you enjoyed that as much as we did! And if you think you can out-do these, please do let us know in the comments. You never know, we could just have a two-parter on our hands.
