Your fly's down

[lethal]

This happened to me the other day. Midway through the interview, I glanced down and saw my bright orange boxers. Luckily I was sitting at a table, so it is likely no one saw, but it was still embarrassing. Also, I couldn't find my snack bars while driving down, so I hadn't eaten all day. My stomach rumbled a bit during the interview.

This had to be my worst interview ever.

What is your worst story?

[ism]

Sorry to hear that. Hope that doesn't affect your job potential.

Hmm. I interviewed in the summer and took the subway to the financial district in Manhattan, and if you know how hot that gets, you'd understand why I was sweating horribly. I don't really smell when I get sweaty (some kind of Asian thing I think) but I get pretty drenched. I had about five minutes before the interview and I ducked into a restroom and basically washed myself down as best I could with wads of damp toilet paper (@#$%& hand dryers) in a stall.

Once I forgot to bring my resume. It's like, I have this checklist, and I forget the most important thing. Anyway, they let me fax it in when I got back home, and strangely enough, I got an offer a few days later.

Hope this makes you feel better. =)

So...I didn't get the job...on to the next try! I'll make sure my fly's not down this time :P

your downed fly is not that bad. my dear friend thought she had a good handle of a difficult part in her life, especially when it came time to interview for a job a couple months later, but she ended up getting all emotional DURING her interview and bawled :cry: (and the harder she tried to stop, the harder she cried). The interviewers tried to comfort her and offered her kleenex, etc. Needless to say, she didn't get the job.

btw- sorry about the job. their loss.

I had an interview with a New York firm in September where the guy stopped it 8 minutes into a 20 minutes scheduled spot and spent the rest of the time telling me what I did wrong. I don't mind the criticism, but he mentioned my parents and what I did on my year off (touchy subject) and then stated "you look like you've been broken down by the system."

I thanked him for the tips and the interview and then went to the men's room and cried in the nearest bathroom stall.

bright orange boxers?

[AliBabaIncorporated]

one interviewer accused me of having been staring at her colleague's chest. (i was trying to see her nametag. no, really. :P )

[anne]

hmm...for some reason my reply disappeared. anywhoo...

VBKao- i think what the interviewer did was unprofessional and he sounded like an a-hole. i't not like you were soliciting interviewing advice, nor were you at a "improve your interview skills" workshop! I would've cried too after that experience

[TyroneK(prettypretty)]

It was more the reminder of my parents than anything else. It had been a while since anybody led me to dwell on it.

But yeah.

Supposedly he hit on one of my gay friends. What a fucker.

i couldn't, the bright orange color was blinding my eyes. :lol: :lol:


oh yes and...

well, lt, maybe they didn't see it. sounds like they didn't. i wonder if it would work in a girl's favor - if the interviewers were male and she was revealing lacy lingerie.

my worst interview - i had a coughing fit. what to do if they have no water? should i have asked to use the restroom? i coughed throughout the entire interview.

[deez nuts]

hehehhe bright orange boxers.

worst interview was prolly when i was interviewing for hospitals to do my residency. when asked why i chose to apply to nyu to do my surgical residency and why they should pick me. i responded: "i chose new york hospital because............" the interviewers looked at me and said: "you know we're not new york hospital, we're nyu. new york hospital is further uptown." on top of that, i addressed one of the interviewers at one point as dr. dilder instead of dr. bilder. cuz me and my friends were cracking jokes about his name the night before.

to further explain: new york hospital is the conglomerate of the merging of cornell and columbia hospital systems while nyu is part of the new york university med school/hospital. two separate hospitals, there's an unspoken friendly rivalry between the two. hahahah....yeah, i felt really dumb for slipping up and apologized. they were cool about it, they continued on with the interview. when i got out of there, i banged my head on the wall. hahahahaha.

not as bad as bright orange boxers tho. :D

and vbkao...that dude was an asshole...fuck him.

[lethal]

Yes...bright orange boxers with hula girls on them...they were lucky...but ahh...not anymore...wearing differnt ones next time...

sure but that would set back the women's movement a few years wouldnt it?

Interestingly enough back in high school we watched a film bout suffrage and some of the er..."lobbyists" had to do backroom deals if you know what i mean. Kinda sad that a woman should have to whore herself to gain power.

eh, its peace through war...
