What are some of the funny interview experiences you’ve had?

Share two short stories from personal interviews.

As I was about to graduate from college, I was not among those taking the postgraduate entrance exams, so I hurriedly started looking for a job.

At that time, my ideal job was to be close to home, so I looked for this recruitment position in this county online. I looked at the contact person, Mr. Ge, I have never come across this surname. There are many characters in our family surnames, and the pronunciation of the surname is different. Therefore, in order to make a cautious choice, I searched on Baidu and the result was that it should be pronounced "ge". A call has come over. Is Mr. Ge here? It was a coincidence that the director of the company's factory, whose surname was Ge, answered the phone and said he was applying for the job. They replied, Manager Gai wasn't the one who answered the phone just now, so why are you looking for me? I'm confused, it turns out that people still read gai.

Later, I was notified that I was going to the factory for an interview. When I got off the train, my phone was stolen on the bus. The thief was right next to me. After taking the mobile phone, he offered his seat to someone else and left. At that time, he also lamented that the quality of his family was very high. My sighs are in vain.

The person who interviewed me was the Finance Minister. After asking about the school, where he was from, etc., he said it was fine and he could come over when he could go to work. I am confused. This routine is wrong. It is different from what the seniors said on TV. So, I asked obediently, "Don't you need to take a test on professional knowledge?" The finance minister was obviously stunned, and then smiled and said, OK, here is a practice book for the intermediate exam, do a few questions and see Take a look. There were 20 questions, and in the end, I got two questions right. I was ready to die, but people said it was okay. Doing the questions and working were two different things. I joined the first company in my life in a daze.

Later, when I changed jobs, I found that real estate companies offered higher wages, so I interviewed a small real estate company in Beijing and a listed real estate company in Shijiazhuang. Let’s talk about Zhuangli first. After I went there, the middle-aged lady who was the financial director was disgusted. She had no experience and no professional title. We were very tired from work. I felt very hurt. When the human resources staff asked what the result was, I said there was no chance and your financial director was disgusted. The human resources manager said, don't be discouraged, I will ask you again. Later, the boss held a meeting and asked me to go back and wait for news. They called me about two days ago and asked me to apply for the job. I was depressed at the time and was so disliked, but I actually passed the exam! I made excuses and talked for a few days. Unexpectedly, I called him twice in succession and became even more disgusted. I obviously felt fine during the interview, but I deliberately disliked him in all kinds of ways. It was really a routine.

Later, I went to this company in Beijing again. It was my first time to go to Beijing. I used the map navigation to find it and stepped on dog poop at the door. I felt very unlucky. But the result of the interview was quite good. The middle-aged lady who was the financial director forgot what we talked about in detail. I only remember that I patted my chest and promised that although I had no experience, most of my classmates were in real estate companies. I could ask if they didn’t know how. It will delay work, that's all. After I came out, I suddenly felt that I was just lucky.
