Today, I went for a lunch interview for my dream job. The interview was great and at the end, I tried to seal the deal by complimenting my future boss. I said, "You're really hardworking. Do you always work on a Saturday?" He looked at me, smiled and then wrote something down. Today's Friday. FML

Falling at the first hurdle

Today, I went to a job interview super early and giddy with enthusiasm. While waiting in the lobby, I struck up a friendly conversation with a bloke who was also waiting around in a suit. I jokingly told him, “Good luck mate, but I’m getting this job.” Turns out he was the hiring manager. FML

Today, at a job interview, my interviewer bent forward and I admired his ass. When he turned, I couldn't tell if he caught me or not. At the end of the interview he shook my hand in congratulations of getting the job, then said, "Yes, I do work out." I have to see him every day now. FML

Toxic workplace goals!

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

Don't really see how that would effect the rest of the interview.

I would get that he was offended if he was an orthodox jew, but if not there's no obvious reason why an employer should consider this tiny mistake... from my p.o.v....

Everybody makes mistakes. The fact that he smiled and there was no setup saying it was a mean smile, he probably thought it was a funny mistake. Lots of employers want people with character and quirks; depending on the job, of course. But this makes people better to work with, and if OP is hired, then they will already be closer and have a memory to laugh about.
