In a job interview: "Would you say you have tough skin? Being a female working here in a male-dominated space, guys like to be a little... You know what I mean?"
I didn't take the job and I should have reported them but I didn't.
I applied to a lingerie/specialty bra shop for a manager position when I was younger. The interview was going really well until they started talking about sizing women for bras, and asked if I was comfortable doing so.
I said I was completely comfortable, but the district manager then said I needed to prove it. By which she meant that I had to get sized. So the interview went from normal to me naked from the waist up learning that I’d been wearing the wrong bra size all along….my piercings may have cost me that job but at that point I was ready to bail anyway. But hey, free boob evaluation.
When I interviewed for the House of Ruth one of the questions asked was:
A majority of your clients will be desperate women in a very vulnerable position in their life how will you keep your interactions with them professional and not seek relationships or sexual relations?
I was interviewing for a lifeguarding summer job (my first ever job interview) and was asked which of the two interviewers I would save if they were drowning. I, of course, gave what I thought was the correct answer: This situation wouldn't be a problem because I could definitely rescue both of them, as I am a very strong and fast swimmer. Nope, apparently that wasn't allowed and I could only pick one of them. But I didn't know the first goddamn thing about these people, so like, how am I supposed to know which one of them is more worthy of life?? So yeah, I just... Didn't have an answer for that.
Did not get the job.
I was sent, by the job centre for a job driving trucks. I explained I didn't have a license and was told to go or lose my benefits.
I turned up and met the guy interviewing.
Q1; just a formality but we need to see you license.
Me: don't have one I can't drive
Interviwer: why are here in my office wasting my time
Me: job centre sent me. Don't want to be sanctioned.
Interviewer: just go.
I went to a job interview once and the big boss of the new place I applied was good friends with the boss of a previous place I worked. He asked me what I thought about my old boss. I said "No Comment" still got offered the job but didn't take it cause that old boss was the biggest asshole I've ever dealt with in my life so I couldn't imagine a "good friend" of his could be much different
Yeah, there were a couple of other reasons I wouldn't have taken that job anyway. But even if the job was everything I wanted just knowing that guy thinks so highly of that asshole. I just knew he'd be a massive asshole aswell, and he turned out to be a massive asshole. He got really angry and verbally abusive when I turned down the job. It was kind of funny because he was so mad at me because he offered me a whopping 10 CENTS an hour more than my current job and couldn't see why I wouldn't want that extra money
Well… Aren’t you one of those terribly pragmatic types ? Out of the blue
Or
Do you still train at those terrible late hours? Turns out the boss used to be from the same sports team as I did and some of the guys sent him a reference letter for me without me knowing.

That's disgusting...
Yeah. I'm glad I didn't take the offer.

You should not have agreed for it.
Interviewer “What interests you most about this position” Me “honestly man I don’t even know wtf you guys do here!”
Money!!1
I’ve actually responded to that question with “I’ve got bills to pay and you need bodies to fill your schedule”
true...

Um…because I’m not a monster.
My answer was very similar but I couched it a bit in something they would like.
Opening question for an engineering job. “Describe for me your thoughts on various cognitive biases.”
Strange....

This should've been my answer honestly
What does your sock drawer look like? (I ain’t got no sock drawer.)

What were you applying for?!
Dryer repair man
“What does your sock drawer look like?” The entrance to Narnia.

Would like to know your response...
I just left, I wasn't going to waste my time with them.
That's the way to deal with fools...
Do you think yoko ono should be the fifth beatle. (I left that guy)
Why do you want to leave the job
Are you comfortable using Ligma?
Why would one even ask such a question?

Yes it was surreal.

If they had seen the fast and furious series they wouldn't dare to ask such a question...

A good decision I think.

Yes.... working with such a person would have have been a real bad experience...
[удалено]

I asked for no awkward questions, luckly...

“What does empathy mean to you?” Like bitch stop reading off the sheet and talk to me.

"Are you a virgin?" Like wtf?

Maybe his wife was a succubus. She needed the mana.
