Job interview and Work: First impressions

First impressions

By Anonymous - 14/01/2011 07:51 - Australia

Today, I had my first job interview in months. The interviewer started by introducing herself and asking how I was. I got caught between introducing myself and telling her how I was and replied, "I'm Kate thanks." FML

Today, I went to my first ever job interview, in a totally stressed out state. The employer's first question was: "What's your name?" I forgot. FML

Today, I reported in for my first day at work. When I walked in they asked "Who are you?" I answered "Cassie, it's my first day today" with a huge smile. They'd meant to call and offer the job to the other Cassie they interviewed. FML

Riveting

Today, I had my first job interview for eight months. My interviewer noticeably yawned during my reply to the first question. FML

Not a good sign

Today, I went to my first job interview. I didn't think I was doing too badly, until the interviewer said, "Wait a second, you're in high school?" I explained that the guy who'd called me had said that this wouldn't be a problem. I then watched as my interviewer left his desk to "deal" with him. FML

Today, I called a possible employer I had an interview with about a week ago to see if I had got the job that I have already been trained for. Her response? "Are you sure I interviewed you?" FML

My name is?

By Victoria - 18/09/2019 06:00 - Australia - Perth

Today, while interviewing for a job, I was greeted by the interviewer with a handshake and a greeting of, "Hello Victoria, my name is Bill." I responded with, "Hello. My name is Bill." I think it's safe to assume I didn't get the job. FML

Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML

Today, I had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML

Today, I was supposed to hear back from a job I interviewed for. The guy called me and told me I got it. I said "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" He responded with "You're welcome Emily". My name isn't Emily, it's Kim. He got the numbers mixed up. FML

Well that sounds weird but it shouldn't have killed the interview by any means.

It sounds like she was just saying her name and thanking the interviewer, which is not a big deal.

It's hardly that the OP is an idiot, she was probably nervous and anxious. It happens, I've done it once or twice. As above poster has written, you could just laugh it off. :)

Instead of "I'm fine thanks" and "my name is Kate" she said "I'm Kate thanks" Not that hard.

Dude don't say that! I said something like that once, and got flammed by like three people telling me to read the FAQ and stuff. Lol.

However, it isn't funny, nor do I see how saying "I"m Kate, thanks" would mess up her interview.

hope the word 'multi-tasking' wasn't mentioned any where in your resume or in the job requirements. They expect you to atleast answer two questions and make sense at the same time.
