Have a slightly bad experience years ago.

I was call-up for interview at this XXX company. Reach there and was ask to take past year paper exam paper like in polytechnic. Must pass and finish the exam in an hour time, otherwise no interview. Got through and pass the exam.. wait an hour for results.

Interview with HR...ok, wait for another 2-3hrs for 2nd interview with the dept manager. Feel very tired of waiting for second round.

During the interview with the manager, that guy keep talking and talking for like 15 min without stopping, like a programmed robot. I listen and listen and dun no how to interrupt him.

Default Re: bad job interview experiences..lets share

I had some bad interview experiences b4 and also heard fof my friend sbad interview experiences too.

For me got once i went to a company near my hse for interview and the interviewer was very bad cos i'm living near so she puuropsely say she can't give me a the pay what she indicate in the ad. Then she also ask abt those unrelevant qns such as how much is my private diploma course, what my sis is schooling, are my grandparents still around etc?

There's another one i went is the interview time was 2pm but they ask me to go earliler so i reach around 1.40pm and wait till 2.45pm the interviewer is nowhere to be seen so i left cos i gt another interview at 3.30pm.

For my friend she went for an interview that the interviewer finish interviewing her and ask her to wait for the 2nd round. As for 2nd round they told her she not suitable as she not the type they want if not suitable why ask her to wait might as well ask her to leave so no need to waste her time.

My another friend went for one at an insurance broker company and the boss interivew her and just ask her few qns and immdeately want her to report work tml without asking she want to consider anot. Then she say she need some time to consider the boss keep persuade her to take up and she say she need time again. The boss face change and stand up to walk out of the room so she also left. But lucky she din take up the job as the company always keep advertising online.
