Got an interview for a job that seemed comfy but was technical af (didnt mentioned it in the vacancy). Im not technical, I have a chromebook ffs and bought Chainlink without reading the WP at $0.3. The interviewer who looked like the incel meme constantly was do you know X, I'm like no, like I said I'm not a dev then he continued how important X was.

I speak English terribly since I learned German in school. First time I spoke English for more than one minute was that IT interview. I was so silent (i'm intp ofc) and felt so bad while this sexy hr bitch been perverting me to talk monolog in English (and no technical questions) and looking straight in the eyes for whole hour to make sure I "know" the language. I got invited to the second interview though, but rejected after they explained my role (was quite different from what was in ad).

I went for a job at a warehouse because I fell for the "any check is a good check" meme. Seemed an easy job and the place was filled with deadshits. I went up to the manager and after a minute he told me I probably was too weak. I was kinda pissed because there was chicks working there so I said I'd show him. We went to the warehouse and he told me to lift a box. It was an awkward shape and actually kind of heavy so I squatted down to lift with my knees and as I did farted really heavily until some poop plopped out. It was instantly obvious and some dead shit in the wearhouse yelled out something, another guy made a fatty noise. I was too embarrassed to look up so I just ran out of there but on my way tripped over an empty pallet. I rolled around on the ground in absolute pain and humiliation, and that was when my spaghetti fell out of my pocket. I heard one girl say out loud "what the fuck" while I am pretty sure the tranny janitor said "he cute". I collected my spaghetti in my t-shirt and limped out. A week later they called and told me I didn't get the job.

Government graduate program.
Rehearsed everything and made everything sound authentic, I know what they want and how to deliver it to them even though its dishonest and makes me feel repulsed to act that way. Whilst I was shit talking I thought, if I get this I'm going to have to act like this while I work here.
Just felt so disgusted you know, I'm not a wagie nor do I want to play the office /linkedin game. Not showing my true character was shameful.

I got the position and declined.
I then went on to trade crypto full time (solo). Much happier and richer now, I'm always honest with everyone even if it's somewhat detrimental, regardless it feels natural, plus all the benefits of knowing that you don't have a boss and your position can't be taken away from you just because you said nigger online

Was invited to an interview for a sales engineer position after finishing my studies at german automotive supplier. Hit my shoe on the sidewalk right before the interview. Shoe is broken and the sole was lose on the front creating the classic depiction of a homeless person's footwork. First part of the interview was more or less ok, had to make a presentation afterwards in front of 5 people. Fucked it up completely. Was occupied with hiding the lose sole by standing on one foot leaning forward making a very irritating appeareance for these guys. Got declined a week after.
>today i think they didn't even notice the shoe, should have simply made a fun story about it, But was glad anyways later as that sales job would have been the exact opposite of what suits my personality. Jesus cracked my shoe.

Checked. Basic wagie delivery job. Actual interview was a breeze, what I didn't know was most deliveries involved stopping off at the shittiest crime ridden parts of town. On first day had a senior driver come with me to show me the ropes, after seeing what I'd be spending 45 hours a week doing I asked him to stop at a mini mall to go to the bathroom then ran away.

Walked in and immediately one of the 3 guys conducting the interview leaned back in his chair, folded his arms, frowned, and gave me evil eyes. This guy made the interview a nightmare by being condescending and scoffed at my responses.
No idea why he had it in for me, the other two were fine. Must have fucked his daughter lmao

Another time I went for an interview that an agency had set up for me, they had talked me up big time for things I cannot do and have never done. The disappointment was obvious on the faces of the man and woman that were interviewing me. Lasted about 15 minutes and was awkward as hell so seemed like an hour.

One of my very first interviews was an admin role and I was interviewed by the woman who I would be replacing. She didn't really give a shit, the "interview" was conducted standing up while she did paperwork on her desk, she talked at 100mph and didn't care about me just keep emphasising it's a lot of organising and high pressure. I actually got the job (Accepted as I needed money) but left after 2 weeks because it was a pure toxic environment.

Not for a job, for an apprenticeship when I was younger, not just any old apprenticeship though it's fairly prestigious and people who went through it were often hired by the big tech companies. I got invited to lunch by the recruiter, she was a solid 9/10 in a fairly low cut top, late 20s. I was only a teen so mumbled and sperged my way through an awkward lunch with a raging semi and couldn't keep my eyes off her cleavage. I didn't get the apprenticeship.

I interviewed a postdoc for a research position at my company a few months back and he acted pretty much exactly as you described.
All my colleagues were like "haha that guy would fail the turing test", "haha what a fucking weirdo", "that man rolled 0 for charisma", etc. I felt awful for the guy. I could see he was nervous, I threw him as many bones as I could during the interview but the assburgers was too strong.

I hate that normies don't understand that social skills aren't the be all and end all of a human's worth. His resume was impressive, and he had all the technical expertise we needed. Maybe he wouldn't be so much fun, but he'd work diligently. I could see that much, at least.

tl;dr - I feel for you, anon. Feel secure in the fact that, if they couldn't see you for your aptitude and skills, you probably wouldn't have wanted to work there anyway.

The billing was complicated - it involved law, consultants, and pharmaceuticals. All had their own process.
One fuck-up could amount to an extra +/- 100k sent to recipient. But if you're not a boomer it'll probably take you like a couple weeks to really figure it out and do it well.

Was interesting to find out that some people charge over 1k for an hour of their time, though.

I got an interview that lasted 4 days. They would call me in, ask me the most generic meme questions for a few minutes, then tell me to come back the next day. Lather rinse repeat.
After 3 days of getting interviewes by HR drones I finally get to talk to someone I'd be working with. The guy steps into the room, looks at me and is instantly, visibly disappointed.
He asks me to follow him to the interview room, I introduce myself and extend my hand for a handshake. He shook it like he'd shake Hitler's hand. He asked me 3 questions while avoiding any and all eye contact and responded to my answers with "Mm...hmm...". He got up and said " We'll be letting you know". The HR drone told me they'd contact me with their decision.
I never heard back from them.

Perfectionism is the result of your parents having high expectations for you and you interpreting this as your results giving you a high value in their eye and this being a prerequisite for their love.
If you fear losing their love if you are not perfect you fear making attempts as it's impossible to be perfect.
This results in you self sabotaging opportunities where you feel you are not 100% certain to do it perfectly even though you would have been competent for it and leaving things for the last minute because then you have the excuse of not having enough time if you don't do it perfectly.

If you want to change this you have to find a way to believe that your parents will keep loving you despite your failures, or that your failures will make you love yourself more and you don't need your parents love to love yourself.

The interview went on and on, in all it took 1h30m or so, she kept asking super specific questions about specific classes I had studied in uni.
Super technical (engineering) stuff, made me do calculations and drawings and I had to explain how I'd solve this or that problem.
I got comfortable by the end of it all and she even told me that's all she was waiting for, for me to be comfortable and be able to look in her eyes.

The guy is nazi gay. It means he’s fat and he hates people he likes/sexually aroused by who are not gay. Basically, he’s using his gayness in a predatory way, and you should have confronted him with it. At that point, he would probably turn all beta and offer to suck your dick, hoping to turn you gay. At that point, you reverse predator gay him and put him in his beta place by strangle fucking him up the ass and making him wear one of those ball gags so he gives you a promotion.

All you need is to find a way to believe this using your imagination.
You could try to imagine a situation where a failure would happen or remember a past memorable event when you suffered a failure.
Think of this situation and try to imagine the worst that could happen to you.
You may find out that the worst is not really that frightening and also not a problem.
The key is to have a memory of you going through a failure and being happy after that even if it is not a real event but just something you imagined. This would be used by you subconscious as a reference.

Another way which you could go if you are mature enough is to become your own parent.
You don't need your parent's love once you become an adult to live.
You should try to become your own parent instead and correct your issues by yourself.
In this case again using your imagination can help.
You could imagine that a child is going through a difficult situation, and you are there to comfort him after that event.
You will praise him for his efforts and ask him what he learned from this experience.
Then you will tell him the most important thing is to learn from his mistakes as making a lot of mistakes and learning fast is the fastest way to improve.

You may need to focus on this and imagine the situation a few times until you feel a strong emotion of relief and happiness coming from a deeper part of your subconscious.

Some funny thing that happened is I wanted to get a job at this new company. They would be paying 1$ more per hour but Id like the work better than current job. The interviewer asked if we offer you the job and your current employer offers you a 10$ raise would you stay there ? Without hesitation I said yes and and he told me that was the wrong answer. I basically just asked him if he knew that 10$ was a massive raise. Got kinda awkward, Guy was a multi millionaire rich and seriously thought a wagie like me wouldn’t jump ship for that raise. Ended up not taking the job because the commute was aids.

Had my first IT interview recently, didn't prepare at all because never even had a remotely technical interview before and the position was pretty low paid so wasn't expecting much. Despite that, the technical questions didn't throw me off that much, just 2 questions at the end that I fucked up. The first was "what websites do you visit to keep up with technology?" I didn't want to answer /g/ because I figured bringing up 4chan in an interview would be an automatic fail but in retrospect my bumbling was probably worse. They ended up throwing me a bone and asking what websites I use when programming (I have some coding experience) and I said Stack Overflow. The other question was literally a fucking trick question, the interviewer asked me when I'd be able to start and I said immediately. Prior to this, all my jobs had been food service/retail so "immediately" in that context is the right answer. But in this case, the interviewer straightaway said "Oh, so you don't have to give your current job 2 weeks notice?" and I looked like a fucking idiot. Backpedaled pretty hard but I'm pretty sure I heard the other guy who was observing the interview with his camera off audibly laugh at my response (zoom interview).

Luckily got another job not long after, spent way more time reviewing for the multiple interviews and did well.

I applied for a job. Low requirements that I fulfilled. Jumped through several hurdles, phone and testing. When I got to the actual department I was mocked and humiliated by the head honchos of the administrative side and blue collar side. The woman that looked like a roastie didn't mock me and was more professional than the two jerks who just mocked me. They basically wanted knowledge of the job already. Why even bring me in at that point. Kinda wish I just lashed out at them.

This and many more reasons continue to pile up on why I NEED to succeed in the stock market I never want to be a wagecuck again. I want to be free'd of it. So many of them seek to just mock and humiliate me even when I keep to myself. Why can't they just leave me alone! There's no need for us to talk but they go out if their way to mock me and humiliate me and when I finally stand up for myself I get treated as the bad guy!

I just had the most akward job interview of my life in a fucking prison. I'm 30 years old have a masters degree and have some work experience in the psychiatric hospital/mental health field. Interviewed for a position in a prison that they call the *insert my country* guantanamo.

First off that place gave me goosepumps and weirded me the fuck out (its a prison in a ducking medieval castle). I got into the interview. 2 women 1 man. I totally blank when they ask me questions. Started stuttering and couldnt form a coherent sentence. Made a total fool of myself and basically the last thing i said was to myself something like "oh this is not going good". They asked me why i said that and i just shrugged.

The failure in that interview haunts me to this day. I basically got every job i ever aplied to and this level of failure was unknown to me. I realised deep down that i'm not cut out to work in prisons. Looking for a job in psychiatry again right now. Job hunting sucks.

I was unemployed in NYC, having worked freelance here and there as a 3D modeler and CAD drafters at architecture firms, film set fabricators, furniture studios, and jewelry ateliers. I desperately needed work but really didn't want to sell my soul to a full-time career, and a family friend stepped up to give me an interview at a large architecture firm that was the sort of place that would have full benefits and probably 40K a year to start, with 60-70K in a few years. Considering that I have a painting degree and no formal training in architecture, this would otherwise be completely out of reach for me. The people interviewing me basically recognized that I was completely unqualified and would need a lot of training, but effectively offered me the job. I basically told them no because I didn't want to work full time.

It was awkward but I'm glad I stood my ground, in retrospect. Full time work is slavery, and now I'm rich from crypto

If I can consistently pull 1.2k a week with a higher risk threshold then it would make sense that I can pull 1k while using 3 times the networth yet significantly reduced risk on the parameters. Not sure how that sounds unbelievable.

Protip: if you start bleeding at someone else's company like that, you just announce it to whoever's nearby and ask them to take you to the nearest first aid kit (there should be one nearby in every office building). If there isn't one and it's an office, go to the bathroom and wrap the wound (after cleaning, ideally) in (clean) toilet paper and then ask for tape when you get out to make a ghetto office bandage.

Health and safety are always the top priority, no matter where you are in the corporate world. Absolutely nobody wants someone bleeding or fainting or going into diabetic shock in their office, especially if it's not an employee.

Lastly, unless that lady was missing her right hand, there's absolutely no reason to shake hands with your left, ever. I don't know what happened there but she fucked up the handshake protocol.

When I had awful anxiety and tended to sperg randomly, I was interviewing for my first “real job”. I saw a cross on the wall when I walked in. She asked about how I handled bad situations at work previously, like rude customers, and I started talking about how I was Christian and do unto others etc. and the interviewer looked over at her own cross on the wall and gave me a “yeah sure” look and that they don’t care what religion someone belongs to. Worst part is they were hiring over 10 entry level people so it was supposed to be a shoe-in and they turned me down cuz my autism.

My first interview was with 2 unsympathetic "typical" serious businessmen. They had no emotion in their faces whatsoever (typical tactic as I've learned later) and that made me nervous, also them asking multiple (2-4 questions) at one time and expecting you to remember while answering each in detail which I was not expecting, so at one point I completely lost my train of thought. Pretty bad, and at that point I was extremely nervous my mind was blacking out on me and I just said "sorry I'm nervous and forgot the question" and they repeated one part and after that I got back on track.

They called me a few days later like agreed and they said I they will hire me and I can come in on Monday to sign the contract, I declined.

Turning right out of a parking lot after grabbing some lunch he looked left to check traffic but didn't look right to see the kid on the sidewalk and hit the gas, I didn't even have time to say anything. The kid did this weird looking roll kind of onto the hood of the car and then hit the pavement really hard when the salesman braked. We got out, Everyone exchanged info and made sure he wasn't dead or broken. the kid was pretty shaken but very chill about it all, said he didn't want an ambulance and then he just kind of limped away. The salesman was also pretty shaken up but said he needed to try and make his commissions for the day and so we carried on awkwardly. After it all was over I didn't call them and they didn't call me, I have no idea if the kid that got hit was really okay or if he was actually injured.

While waiting for a scheduled IT interview some arrogant black guy came in off the street and asked for an application and a pen.
I then get interviewed by a few people and asked to wait in the lobby. Interviewer comes out and asks for his pen. Told him I did not borrow a pen and he says that pen I am holding is his pen. I said, no I brought that with me, you are mistaken but here you go take it anyway.

Recruiter calls me afterwards and tells me I had the job up until the point they claimed I tried to steal a pen. I told him some one got me confused with this guy that walked in off the street that needed a pen and the pen I had I had brought with me. He calls them back to clear it up but they were certain I tried to steal a pen. Fucking cocksuckers.

I interviewed at Amazon for a Software Engineer position. They flew me to Seattle and put me in a hotel for two nights, shit was pretty cash.

Interview fucking sucked though
>first guy never looks up from his laptop while i'm talking, just typing away
>second interviewer is 2 girls, they give me some boilerplate tree traversal logic question, but can't clarify anything when i ask questions back to them
>third guy seems annoyed that I ask questions about his question
>fourth guy asks me some question about something I just don't know how to do, i work it out but he seems unimpressed that i didn't know his generic algorithm question off the top of my head
Basically it just sucked, everyone seemed to just ask me questions from the COMPSCI 320 Analysis of Algorithms textbook. Nothing about the interview really spoke to your ability to think critically or solve problems, and every interviewer was more focused on typing notes(or talking in slack) than paying attention to what I was doing or saying.

That was actually my last software engineering interview, I left my programmer job soon after for a Solutions Architect job and never went back to being a codemonkey.

I went out to the bars that night in Seattle, and it seems like everyone works at Amazon for 2 years until their stock options fully vest and then they leave. Nobody actually likes working there, but they pay a lot of money. A lot of talent goes there but they have HUGE turnover.

Well, they're not really trying to find actual spies, just people who think they can be sneaky and get away with it, but who haven't really thought things through. If it freaked you out, you should probably do some research on how to resist interrogation. Not because you'll do anything wrong, but because if you ever get interrogated by police you might incriminate yourself accidentally. This video is a very good start but you should keep going after finishing.

Anon, I'm gonna be real with you, the only people who actually work on their resume are people who aren't going to make it. It takes fucking hours to get it perfect. The correct move is to pay a professional to put it together for you. Time is money. Since it's an internship through your college it doesn't really matter but in the future (when you actually have work experience) consider hiring a professional resume writer. Also don't forget to work with headhunters and recruiting agencies. They have inside track deals to get you hired so you avoid applying for fake jobs.

If you were reading a resume, you would definitely want to see a 1-line summary of the applicant's skills before you see a 4 paragraph summary of their work history.

I landed an interview though a friend at a Fortune 500 company called Main Street Hub One of the heads of the sales dept. called me directly while I was in the middle of my shift at what previously was my main job. He wanted me to suddenly drop what I was already doing and immediately do an interview, and I was forced to tell him "no." By time I clocked out of my normal job, I had to sprint across the city because I didn't own a vehicle. I had drank probably about three or four energy drinks by that point, and I had also forgotten to put on deodorant. When I finally reached the entrance and rode the elevator up to their office, I had to clock in on an ipad that they had next to the elevator; there was an array of dental implant catalogs laid out on the table in the waiting area, as if to say, "these are what all your new teeth are going to look like!" The girl behind the front desk gave me a tour of the entire office (which was massive); they had their own kitchen and dining area that was stocked with cereal and refridgerated food, which eventually led way to a common area that was occupied by bronze busts of their 100k club stacked ornately in the window. After that I was led to the sales floor, which was totally fucking bonkers; I've never been in such an unhinged, high-energy environment in my life, and they had a monolithic gong that someone would ring every time they hit a personal record in sales. I also remember seeing a slide and a ball pit, also... by the time I got around to the actual interview, they sat me down in front of a computer and just handed me a prompt to read off of to see how well I could handle the sales pitch. I fucked it up. Hard. By the time the mock sales pitch had ended, they led me to another office to be interviewed by the man who had called me over the phone, and by another woman who was also the head of another department.

The woman (her name was Ceci, I think) asked me a series of questions that I literally had no idea how to answer, and at one point I went totally silent during the interview and just stared at her. After all of this was finally over, and by the time I was back at my apartment, they actually had the courtesy to call me back and tell me that I didn't land the job, but that I was welcome to reapply in few months when the next hiring cycle began, which I guess was cool of them.

never listen to those women, they're idiots. she bases her opinion on no data. i go with what HR people do to their resumes, since they're the head faggots of this whole nightmare: have a summary at the top, like an ad (anon does x and y, knows a-z). then list history. keep everything in concise summary form because your resume is an ad, it is marketing, it is not a historical document (it is not based on research nor does it include sources).

Interview with Toys R Us like 6 years ago. I ended up acting like a nervous bitch. First they had us doing group exercises which I guess was intended to see if we'd make good salesmen. One of them was picking out a toy in the store and selling it to management. I think I did at least mediocre even though I wasn't applying for a sales position. I was applying for some seasonal overnight stock boy grunt work. I kind of think I just didn't look the part at that time for selling toys. Skinnyfat, pale, shaved head, stained teeth with plaque, droopy eyelid. I probably wouldn't have hired me for that either. Maybe I could've dressed a little better but I was better dressed than the other applicants. It went to hell in the interview. Fat lesbian looking broad and her mutt assistant. The assistant told me over the phone when I first applied that the only thing they had available was toy assembly but she'd get me an interview for overnight stock. When the group exercises were over they interviewed us individually. When I got in there the assistant manager kept asking me generic questions like "what does the customer mean to you?" I didn't know what to say to that shit so I dropped spaghetti and said something like "well, the customer is always right" and it got worse from there. They could just tell I was nervous and came off as desperate. It wasn't like interviews I had done in the past. When I got to the real interview with the manager I remember her telling me how competitive it was and that they typically get rid of people after the holidays. I remember telling her how dependable I was and all I needed was to be trained. Never heard from them after that. I could blame it on different things but I think I fucked up the interview. It could've gone better.

If he actually paid for a marketing degree, your answer was objectively right. That's the kind of major student athletes pick because it's easy. Sounds like your interviewer is having trouble keeping up with his student loans.

In hindsight, I'm pretty sure the company I interviewed with wanted someone on an H1-B visa and my interview was part of their half-assed search for an American, where they find an excuse to reject everybody.

interviewing for my first dev position.

felt like i was connecting with the interviewers. walked them through a couple of my favorite projects. discussed different options i considered and why i made the choices i made.

asks me a couple of the standard coding 101 problems you'll get from any interview prep... and i completely blank like i've never seen a computer or typed a line of code in my life.

same thing on my next interview.

Many years ago I worked as a security guard for the company Securitas. I showed up to the interview on time but was forced to wait in the lobby for an insultingly long time. There was nobody else waiting. After more than an hour passed I was finally called in and no apology, explanation, or even acknowledgement was made over the delay.

Anyway I got the job and some time later they moved me to a site where I'd be using a car. They needed me to come into the office so I could do a road test with the office manager (same guy who interviewed me). Had to wait a few minutes but not bad, noticed that there was someone waiting in the lobby for an interview, no idea how long he'd been waiting there already. Got called into the office and did some paperwork with the manager then we went out to do my roadtest. As we're leaving the office he asked the guy waiting if everything was ok. He replied "well its just a very long wait". During the entire road test the manager was ranting about how he couldn't believe how rude that guy was. Like...you asked. I wonder how long he made him wait after that.

well I suppose it wasn't complete shit, a lot depends on where they put you. I spent a lot of time browsing 4chan on my phone as well (though this was before /biz/ existed). But you're literally getting paid to do nothing, not the most intellectually stimulating job. When I worked on a night shift with a bunch of other guards it made me realize I was in a business with people who thought "job where you sit on your ass and do nothing for 8 hours" was the greatest thing in the world.

Here's what pushed me to quit though
>had dropped out of college before becoming a guard
>parents suggested I take an EMT class to see if I was ready to go back to school, since its basically a college level course
>take the class, do fine and pass it, still don't want to go back to college though
>debating if I should join up with a nearby EMS company, the pay is even worse than as a security guard (start at $11.75 instead of the $14.00 I was making at securitas, but would go up a lot after a year)
anyway
>working on a site where its 3 weekday overnights 2 weekend, on the weekdays I'm working a gate logging the trucks coming in and out, on the weekends I'm the "supervisor" meaning I sit in a room all night and occasionally do some patrols around the facility
>one saturday night at 3AM the supervisor during the week day shift (some middle aged hispanic woman who thought she was the head supervisor even though she was paid no more than the rest of us) shows up out of the blue and sees me playing a game on my computer (iirc it was crypt of the necrodancer, fun game btw)
>doesn't explain what she's doing there just says "hey electronic devices aren't allowed I'm going to get you written up for that", and she actually followed through on that threat
>asked myself why I'm putting up with this job where my coworkers are such shit people
