Ive never actually passed a formal interview. The only jobs Ive ever been able to get are where I've turned up and they've described the job instead of asking questions and then said something along the lines of "See you Monday".
The one exception is the phone interview for the job in New Zealand which starts in a fortnight, but I had my CV and various responses to questions i could anticipate written out in front of me and a big cup of tea as an excuse in case I got tongue-tied.
In interviews I've had bemused looks as I attempt to bulls**t my way through a question, sympathy because the applicant before me was so much better and so on. Don't get disheartened, keep applying. (you'll also hear that phrase from people a lot, sorry)

My biggest problem with interviews is that they ask questions I have no experience with or don't know how to answer. My brain seizes up, I'm sure I get a "deer in the headlights" expression and I try to come up with an answer that ends up equal parts desperation and BS.
Seriously, I hate interviews. Most of the time, they're just so humiliating. Not quite as humiliating as what you went through, though, and I hope you're feeling better.

Worst interview EVER!!!!! Care to share?
Anyone who read this thread knows that I had some interviews last week
WELL one didn't go so well. Not well at ALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!
Why? Well I wasn't feeling well. I had a hard night that night and got the time mixed up for the interview. I was luck and got up early and doubled checked by calling for confirmation. It was a LOT earlier than expected.
I hadn't been able to keep food down that night but thought I was better. I had some tea and off I went to the interview.
By the time I got there I was white, clammy and sick! Oh very very sick.. I was so sick I didn't know what I should do. I said something about having a "big night" out as a friend was in town. And appologiesed for looking a little worse for wear. (STUPID YES!) but all I could come up with in my semi-lucid state.
Then They did a tour of the house. And OH SHIT! I had to vomit. I appologised and ran to the loo. MORTIFIED! Absolutly mortified!
They took it so well. But I think I've screwed that interview up big time.
So anyways ...I'm aware of my huge mistake here. But anyone else had something REALLY bad happen at an interview?
