It doesn’t have to be this way...
to share their worst, wildest, and weirdest job application and interview experiences, I'm not alone.Seriously, you folks did not disappoint.
"I went on one interview that was at a business professional-type place, and everything seemed to be going well. Three interviews in, everything was still smooth, when the old woman asked if I had any tattoos or piercings. I thought that was pretty personal, and while I was vague with my answers, I told her that yes, I had some piercings done, but took them out. She actually stood up, asked me to stand up, and got right into my face.
"I thought it was kinda sweet that she had such a connection with these people, so I didn't think that was bad. That is until she started to get angry because she was crying, and said, 'Now look what you did; you made me cry!' There was no laughter or joking. It was so weird.
They wanted to pay me $15 an hour for an admin assistant job where they were requesting 5+ years of experience in a similar position. I had close to 10. So roughly $31K. I was making over $10K a year more than that in the job I was in already. I wasn’t even asking for more money than I was making, and the amount I had named as a starting point would’ve been a slight pay cut, but I was so miserable and desperate for a new job that I didn’t care.
As we rode back, he said he would need to see my social security card. I told him I don’t carry that with me. He asked, 'Well, how am I supposed to hire you without a social security card?' In a VERY demeaning tone. I responded, 'Well, why don’t we see if I even WANT to work here before we worry about that?' He didn’t say anything to that.
