"Dumbest thing to say in a job interview EVER"

So I'm in the recruitment office this morning, a little worse for wear but I can focus and I'm filling in all the numerous forms before I get to sit down and have a little chat with my person. Forms filled in, documents signed, yadda yadda yadda, and I'm sat down, admittedly a little nervous because I've never had to look for temp work before.

Anyway, the interview went really well, got quite chatty to the primly attractive girl and spoke about Uni and stuff. When the end of the interview came, I though 'ah, that wasn't that bad' and stood up her shook her hand, in newly-found RelaxTM mode. Then she says 'what are you doing for the rest of the day?', to which I reply...

"Actually I'm a bit hungover so I'll probably just go back to bed."

Round of applause for the assclown. She did a little nervous laugh and looked at me, so I said "Prrrobably shouldn't have said that, should I?"

I might as well have said "Well actually I've got a couple of dead prostitutes in the back of my car and I've got to dispose of them sometime today." In fact, that probably would have got me more work as it shows I'm resourceful.

What a tool.

Apparently i'm excellent to be interviewed says my old boss!!

*pokes out tongue*

I was at a job interview once and was talking animatedly, when a large globlet of spittle flew from my lips and landed in the middle of the desk. The two lady interviewers pretended not to notice and I desperately tried to find something to say that would allow me to perform a wiping motion on the table.

"Yeah I take a holistic approach and everyone is important. If I were drawing a pie chart on this here table..."

:^D

Hey, if you can't be yourself in an interview and get the job, then there's no point going for the job.

*whispers* what about all that money!!

Heh, Kudos Snuggly.

you should have followed up with :

"I'm a little upset about a bad sexual episode I had last night"

Anyway, I beat your story to the ground.
Job interview last week for the Civil Service or some crap. Anyway, part of the conversation was as follows.

"So I hear you've just left school?" – Interviewer guy.
"That's right." – Me
"Did you like school?"
"Not really"
"Really, what didn't you like about school?"
"The subjects."
"Which subject did you dislike the most?"
"Dunno....probably English."
"Really? What didn't you like about English?"
"I dunno, just stupid really, just really hated doing English."

*1 minute later*

"So where do you see yourself in 5 years time?"
"Dunno.. Journalist maybe."

*bleeds*

Zzzzz.....

A friend of mine went o a job interview once. She looked reaaly smart and answered all the questions they threw at her in a professional manner. When they told her to ask them some questions, she let one off before falling off her chair (banging her chin in the process) and letting her thong ride up her back.

She got the job.
