I had been facing rejections for a few jobs in the past. Maybe when my next interviewer makes it obvious that I'm not gonna be hired, I will try this strategy hahahaha Too funny!
If they don't want to hire you they say, "thanks for coming, we'll call you soon," is often a polite and easy way to get the person out of the building. I bet that person never got called back.
i wonder how far it is from an actual very bad interview. i've interviewed very bad candidates before, but nothing quite as bad... anybody in here has had an experience that was almost as bad as this?
One day my boss during a pay rise meeting said that he didn't see me in the office at 8am when he arrived. I replied that I didn't see him in his office at 11 pm when I left !
this is one of the funniest things i have ever seen! i was studying for interview questions because i had an interview coming up and i stumbled across this. couldnt stop thinking of it all through my interview!
"Ok.. fine. There's room for negotiation there." The interviewer's face after that LOL!!!!!! Gets me every time. The interviewer was obviously too nice to stretch this interview to 17 minutes.
I don't know why he didn't kick him out before 17 minutes. He arrived late without notice, which will cause most jobs to not to the interview. There will be plenty of other candidates who can dress smart and formal and arrive on time.
I'm wondering why he even invited him for the interview in the first place given that his resume was extremely out of date, and the fact that his previous *nine* jobs all lasted a couple months or so lol
First thing I noticed is why would the guy interviewing have his office telephone facing the wrong way round to him sitting. Didn't think of that one haha.
)))) THIS man has one very important feature: he reacts on the situation and is careful. can u find enough people in service like that? he reacts untypically ))) but lively
Wow. And I thought my interviews were terrible. This makes me feel a lot better. Although I have to wonder how he got any jobs in the first place. Did he get hired just to make the office space more interesting? XD
Hi Leon, glad you enjoyed it...the humour is a great way of illustrating serious points. Graham ps hope it didn't put you off your stride in the interview!!
You know what, it was hilarious..we should have kept the outtakes! Amazingly his wife ACTUALLY did call in the middle of a take...we tried to add lib but we just fell about!
I didn't...we had to re-shoot it several times...esp when we got to the bit about the pen/pencil sales process...I kept giggling! Graham ...and in an earlier version, Angelo's wife actually DID call him in the middle of filming...Angelo kept going but I just fell about!
Do love this it really highlights the no nos for job interviews while doing it in a much more comical way than some similar videos I've seen on youtube, classic u should do a similar style one with this guy about no nos in the actual job
My phone also rang during an interview... omg that was so horrible. I was so excited about the job that I literally forgot to turn it off.... never gonna happen again.
that's nothing. the last time i had an interview, my phone went off because i got a text. fifteen seconds later, the interviewer's phone went off and ten seconds later, the other interviewer's phone went off. it was hilarious.
+Nate L Thanks Nate. We REALLY enjoyed doing it. Half way through Angelo's wife ACTUALLY called and we tried to incorporate it into the video but we just fell about laughing. Graham
Lol what do you do when your boss was literally a scam artist who cheated the government out of thousands of pounds, and that's why you left the company? I'm not allowed to say the real reason why I left because then I'm slagging off my boss.
Ah, yes...well spotted! I knew that I'd been 'in shot' as soon as I moved the CV but was un-inclined to re-take it because apart from that I think we nailed it. Graham
Lol totally awesome! Been on a few interviews lately and this takes the edge off. Incidentally, some of the questions Tommy asks are what I wish I could ask. :p
my job was to listen to customers but if they complained i'd put them on hold n another line , i only talked to people who listened then i began my sales pitch, my boss was amazed at how many sales i made on a complaint line.
This is really very funny i like it . i was worried about my job interview tomorrow but when i saw this i thought anything i might do other than this is great haha . Thank you
Hi there your web series has been really helpful for me, could i make a suggestion? it might be good for you to do a video similar to this but showing good interview technique perhaps illustrating points you've raised in other videos.
Thanks, yes, this was the idea...a mass of errors...of course, he WOULDN'T have had 19 jobs...but it was fun to consider WHY he'd kept moving on and on and on....
Its OK I did very well and listened on your advice. I have prepared like mad and managed to get a good response in my interview thank you for your video`s they really helped :).
This was really good, as it points out key problems where some interviews turn sour. I mean some are really obvious, some not so. It would be really surprising if someone got a full house and done everything wrong in this video in an actual video, but then again nothing is impossible when it comes to interviewing. Would be interesting if you did a "The Best Interview Ever" with the same actor, as that could be useful too.
