Job Interviewers Reveal The Worst “ This Person Isn’ t Getting The Job” Moments Show What Not To Do 30 Posts Interview With Author

Jonas Grinevičius and
Austėja Akavickaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Going to a job interview is one of the most stressful things you get to do in your professional life. The pressure to perform well and highlight your inner awesomeness is immense. And at the end of the day, a lot is riding on that brief conversation-your future career path, your self-confidence, your ability to pay the rent. However, we tend to worry about how things will go on our end of the table. Very few of us have actually made accurate guesses about how the job interviewers are going to respond to what we say and do. And being able to know ahead of time what pitfalls to avoid can boost your career to whole new levels. That's why we've collected a whole host of red flags to avoid the next time you're at an interview, as shared by HR staff and recruiters. They spilled the beans on r/AskReddit about all the times they realized that someone definitely wasn't getting the job. It's informative. It's fun. It's all down below, so scroll down and upvote the stories you found the most useful. Got any job interview nightmares to share with all the other Pandas? Drop on by the comment section. And if you want to see some more applicant red flags, then check out this Bored Panda article right here later on. The author of the thread, a veteran recruiter, was kind enough to answer Bored Panda's questions about the viral post. Scroll down for our interview with the OP. This post may include affiliate links. #1 His personal signature included a crucifix. When asked, he said it was his responsibility before God to share the good news of Christ with every person he met. I did not want to find out how far he was willing to take that responsibility while working with the mentally ill. Poppy9683 Report Final score: 299points POST Walking On Sunshine Walking On Sunshine Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago RED FLAGGGG 124 124points reply View More Replies... View more comments The redditor revealed that they've been recruiting people for years and years. "I've been in HR, and recruiting for most of my life," they shared with Bored Panda. "I asked [the question] because in a recent position I had as an interviewer, it seemed like the art of interview etiquette has been completely lost," they explained what inspired them to come up with the question in the first place. #2 This guy was an absolute rock star applicant, applying to be a teacher. He was super nice, young, dynamic, and had won awards. He also had great references. Then, when asked 'Any questions?' he replied 'Could you tell me if you'd have a problem with a teacher dating a student?' mkaibear , Tima Miroshnichenko Report Final score: 296points POST ZAPanda ZAPanda Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago That flag is so big and red that Stalin would fly it above the kremlin 278 278points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Bored Panda was interested to get the OP's take on what job applicants should or shouldn't do. For instance, they told us that as far as personal and professional achievements go, they like them highlighted on the resume. "If I get asked, I'll explain how I achieved it. It's not boastful in my opinion if you're asked," they said. "I think one of the best things a person can do is simply be attentive. Do some research on the company, especially if it's for a job you really want," they gave some great advice for anyone who's planning on going to a job interview soon. Meanwhile, the worse thing someone can do is "check your phone or watch." Also, try not to seem bored or uninterested. "If that's the case, why did you even take the interview?" #4 When I worked in a bank as a manager, one internal candidate I interviewed put her finger in front of my face while I was talking and said” I’m gonna stop you right there” . I went with the other person who didn’t put their finger to my face Iamstillalice , wayhomestudio Report Final score: 232points POST Jo Choto Jo Choto Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Someone put a finger in my great-grandfather's face once and he bit it very hard. 136 136points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Earlier, career coach Jermaine Murray explained to Bored Panda that one of the biggest mistakes that applicants can make is being too humble. If they don't highlight their achievements and accomplishments, nobody else will do it for them. "They humble themselves when they need to be boasting. If you understand why the work that you were doing was important and how it impacts your org (project) then you should be explaining that to the interviewer without holding back. How did you go above and beyond to make sure things worked? What creative ways did you come up with? Show off." #7 During my first management gig I was sifting through resumes for an internship program we had and one of the candidates printed her resume on glittery paper and sprayed it with perfume. I didn’t even look at her resume. To this day they probably still find glitter on that desk. rusalkarusalka , Inkwina Report Final score: 213points POST Steffen Rehm Steffen Rehm Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago "Try to impress them, stick out with your resume to get noticed, be creative to get a job".

He blew it with me by saying “I’ll turn this company around in 6 weeks” and a few more comments along those lines with a theme of “you are currently messing it up”.

This is a small successful company. I wanted him to fit in, not “turn us round”. wivsi , Tima Miroshnichenko Report Final score: 210points POST Viviane Viviane Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Maybe this ambitious dude should turn his vision into his own business. 60 60points reply View More Replies... View more comments According to Jermaine, our tone of voice and body language are vital to success during job interviews. We should always do our best to be perceived as confident and capable. Failing to do so can cost you the job because your talents and skills won't seem as impressive if you're a nervous wreck or just downright scared. "If your body language or tone says otherwise [i.e. that you're not confident], you destroy the perception of your skills. Once that's gone so are your chances of landing the job," he said. #10 Currently doing all video interviews (cause well Covid) and I recruit for a healthcare company. many, many, many times people answer the video call either naked, partially naked, on the toilet, etc. yeah you’re not getting the job bud. katie31410 , Ludwig Schneider Report Final score: 201points POST Jo Johannsen Jo Johannsen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago I don't understand people who take phone calls while on the toilet.

Then he starts telling me how my restaurant was going to run, and a bunch of menu items that aren't even close to our theme.

I told him he should go start his own restaurant, call it the Covid Cafe. mauinion Report Final score: 190points POST Raven DeathShade Raven DeathShade Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Nice ring to it, but I already got Covid once. I have no desire to do so again. 40 40points reply View More Replies... View more comments "You can teach someone to be a better coder but it's near impossible to teach them how to be a better person. Recruiters will always value personality first, but technical skills are a very close second," Jermaine said. "Hiring managers keep that in mind and try to make sure candidates they like can perform competently. Different things contribute to this bar that aren't based on the candidate but the organization's internal ability to support and develop someone. Once those two elements are present a hire will happen." #13 Interviewee dropped multiple F-bombs. Job interviews are one of the most formal things a person will go through. Now, I’m not shy for swearing language, but they didn’t know that. It just showed I couldn’t trust her in any formal situation or important business meeting. It wasn’t the swearing, it was the lack of judgement. ZoeAWashburne , Alexander Suhorucov Report Final score: 181points POST WilvanderHeijden WilvanderHeijden Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago So, what they actually say is: I don't mind if they swear when they are at work, but they need to know when they shouldn't do it. 99 99points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Jermaine told Bored Panda that first impressions are vital. That extends to our online presence, e.g. on LinkedIn, as well. "You can always improve your profile and show up in a Recruiter's future search based on the SEO algorithms on LinkedIn. Also, if someone is a good Recruiter, they wouldn't discount someone's profile in the future because good people make bad resumes on LinkedIn all the time," he gave us a peek at the side of things from a recruiter's perspective. #16 I worked for a big, well known company and we were recruiting interns straight out of college. The questions are more of a get to know you questions, rather than actual knowledge of the work or experience. The company actually gave us a paper with some example questions, like the one below, that we could ask if we ran out of ideas.

So it's going pretty well, very bubbly, chatty girl and I have impression she would fit the team. Until:

Me: how do you handle multiple deadlines in a short time period? E.g. if you have 2-3 exams close to each other or an exam and a big class project?

Interviewee: well, you try to do your best, but if I realise I cannot meet both deadlines, I just call in sick Zem_42 , Alexander Suhorucov Report Final score: 168points POST Monkey Spunk Monkey Spunk Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago Well, she was honest at least. 90 90points reply View More Replies...

The language barrier was very difficult and he was having a tough time with the interview. Part way through, he showed me some certificates he received from the embassy job, as awards for good work. The conversation then went like this:

Me: Can you tell me the story about some of these awards?

Him: Huh?

Me: I'd like to know why you received these awards. Maybe you can pick one of them and tell me the story about how you got it.

Him: ...awards?

Me: Yes, these things you're showing me right now. Tell me about them.

Him: They are awards.

Me: Right. Tell me how you received them.

Him: How?

Me: Yes. What did you do to get them?

Him: ...I dunno. It's your embassy, you tell me.

That last bit was the longest sentence he spoke to me during the entire interview.

When asked if he had a friend or some other accommodation figured out, he simply told that he's going to pick up some girl every work night and spend the night at her place. Because hey, isn't there always a line of chicks just waiting to bang the bouncer, right?

She hadn’t worked for six months and while that certainly wasn’t a deal breaker, I asked “How come you left your last job without another to go to?”

She said “Oh I had problems with my Manager...”

Tiny red flags waving - I asked her to explain...

She said, rolling her eyes, “Well he like wanted me to come to work like EVERY day...”

I must’ve looked shocked because she added “Would you want me to work like every day?”

I thought that maybe I was on camera and was being pranked - but retained my composure...

“Well this IS a full time job, running a major project...”

She cut me off and said “I don’t think I’ll like that...”

Knowing more than me was required - I'm only in charge of this position because I know more than my bosses about it, but we were looking for someone who specialized in that role. The attitude of "I'm obviously better than you" was not required, and lost him the second interview.

Had a candidate drop off his resume. Seemed like a promising candidate, until I flipped over his resume and saw that he had a "wish list" of dispensaries he wanted to work at, and a reminder that he had an interview that same day, later that afternoon. My company wasn't on his wish list. He later called to ask if his resume had any writing on the back, and asked me what time his interview was. I wished him luck. I didn't hire him.

Have had countless candidates who only wanted to work at a medical (meaning you have to have a qualifying condition like cancer) dispensary because they "thought it would be chill af", "could be high all day", or "get free samples". None of them were called back. l34u05 , Add Weed Report Final score: 109points POST Monty Glue Monty Glue Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago If you hire such a person your profits might go up in smoke. 28 28points reply View More Replies...

Honestly not bragging, I have worked with some really dim bulbs). One Boss asked if I would be offended by "colorful" language. I told him that if heard anything I hadn't before, I make sure to write it down.

The guy was also interviewed by one of my deputies and we both found the guy's skills and training OK but we decided that we will not offer him the job because there was something off with his personality. The following weekend, I finally remembered where I "met" the guy. At the time I was single and on Meetic (a French dating website) but without pictures on my profile (this was still ok in 2003). I had a short conversation with the guy on the website and he asked me if we could exchange photos by email. I said yes of course and soon after received an email from him (from his personal mailbox, with his name). There was only one photo of him attached with the email. He was fully naked, reclined on a sofa holding his penis like a freakin' daisy flower. Of ourse I blocked the profile on the dating website and forgot about it. There was definitely something off with the candidate personality.

Troux Troux Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago (edited) I once interviewed an internal candidate applying for a lateral move, who came highly recommended by his manager (NB: this is a huge red flag for a manager offloading a problem).. He worked on an adjacent team so I was already familiar with his current role. I sit down with HR at the interview and they give me his resume for the first time. It's about 4 pages long and he's mid-20s; several paragraphs per job. While HR is talking, I'm reading the details of his current role: "overseeing all..." "managing all..." "in charge of every..." It reads as if he's my boss plus 5 employees all in one! I start pressing him on each duty, and after four "Well actually I just..." responses, he reveals that he didn't actually list his current job duties, he just copied the vague and varied job description from our company's recruitment page. My conclusion: If he's too lazy to even describe his job, he's probably too lazy to do it. 8 8points reply Saira Khan Saira Khan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago This comment is hidden.

Male supervisor and manager are interviewing Boss: So you need to understand, you will be working with all men Me: Yes, I do that now Boss: We didn't mean they would be hitting on you all the time Me: Well darn. Sometimes you have to address the elephant in the room. We all cracked up, I got the job and it was one of my favorites. 13 13points reply Celtic Pirate Queen Celtic Pirate Queen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I have always worked in male dominated fields, mainly because I started out at my Dad's construction company and realized I got along a lot better with men (Most of the women I've ever worked under were neurotic & super insecure, I'm pretty sure it was because they realized I was much smarter than they. Honestly not bragging, I have worked with some really dim bulbs). One Boss asked if I would be offended by "colorful" language. I told him that if heard anything I hadn't before, I make sure to write it down. Yeah, I got the job. 0 0points reply Load More Replies... meme lord meme lord Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago pick me energy tbh 0 0points reply Troux Troux Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 9 months ago Hahaha perfect response! 0 0points reply Nadia Monteira Nadia Monteira Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 months ago (edited) One day, I interviewed a guy who's name and face I knew but I could not remember from where. The guy was also interviewed by one of my deputies and we both found the guy's skills and training OK but we decided that we will not offer him the job because there was something off with his personality. The following weekend, I finally remembered where I "met" the guy. At the time I was single and on Meetic (a French dating website) but without pictures on my profile (this was still ok in 2003). I had a short conversation with the guy on the website and he asked me if we could exchange photos by email. I said yes of course and soon after received an email from him (from his personal mailbox, with his name). There was only one photo of him attached with the email. He was fully naked, reclined on a sofa holding his penis like a freakin' daisy flower. Of ourse I blocked the profile on the dating website and forgot about it. There was definitely something off with the candidate personality.
