Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I really needed the job to keep my apartment. As I was being interviewed, the manager looked past me and stared off into space. There goes the job and my apartment. FML
Today, I had a job interview. The only moment I impressed the interviewer was when I talked about drama. He started to talk about a play I hadn't seen, but I decided to agree on everything he was saying. Suddenly he said, "the play doesn't actually exist." I silently left the room. FML
Today, I went to a job interview and, trying to sound confident, I shook the interviewer’s hand and said, "Nice to meet me." I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I really wanted to nail. Everything was great until the interviewer asked me why I left my last job. I meant to say, "I felt it was time for a new challenge," but instead I said, "I felt tired of pretending to care." The look on their face was priceless. Needless to say, but I don't think I'll get the job. FML
Today, I had a job interview. As I walked in, I confidently shook the interviewer's hand, only to say, "I'm doing well, how are you?" before she'd even asked me how I was, or even said anything. The rest of the interview was pretty much a blur of awkwardness. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML
Today, I went into a store for an interview. I've had several places wanting to talk to me and this job was a lot lower paying. I got a little cocky and when offered the job, I said I wanted some time to finish my other interviews first and see what my options were. The manager then took back his offer. FML
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

That's when you say "I'm actually a common-law attorney investigating allegations of incorrect labour practice. I'll listen to your excuses now, but I'm not going to believe any of them."

Ouch. Were you dressed unprofessionally or something? Without more info I can't decide if YDI or FYL.

I would have bailed! Even if it was a test, he would have to be a jerk to work for. Good luck next time, op!

The big question for me is: were you dressed professionally? If someone walked into a job where I was the hiring manager, and he/she was wearing jeans and a t-shirt--no matter how nice the jeans and t-shirt were--I would refuse to hire them too. Heck, I would even refuse to interview them, because it shows a fundamental lack of caring or respect. Also, if you have piercings and tattoos, was the jewelry removed and the tattoos covered? I have piercings, and I always take out the jewelry for interviews. I love them and hate doing it, but you have to play the game. No one is offended by a lack of piercings, but plenty of people are offended--for one reason or another--by piercings. Also, wearing your piercings' jewelry or not covering up your tattoos for the interview implies that you would not be willing to do so for the job, even if the dress code requires you to do so. You always have to dress for the job you want, especially during the interview. You should even dress professionally when dropping off the application, as that sets you apart. I've worked at jobs where teenyboppers have shown up in cutoffs and tank tops just to drop off the application, and they were not called for interviews because of this fact alone.

I'd ask what was wrong with me and then walk out. I'd want to know what gave the interviewer such an immediate negative reaction...
