I don’t know about you, but I dread job interviews. Absolutely despise them.
Even if I’m totally qualified for a position, I just don’t do well in interviews…chalk it up to nerves, I guess…
If you’ve been through the gauntlet of various job interviews, you know how ridiculous and stressful they can be.
Here are some funny tweets about going through this awful process…
1. You’re hired!
Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Me: *slides over a picture of me crying while eating toast*— Noodles (@Dawn_M_) February 13, 2015
2. That might not work…
INTERVIEWER: can you explain these gaps on your résumé?
INTERVIEWEE: o sure, i just hit Return a couple times. it's real easy, i'll show ya.— Aparna Nancherla 🇵🇸 (@aparnapkin) May 3, 2017
3. Does that count?
When jobs ask for 3 years experience I'm like um the only thing I've consistently done for 3 years is quit jobs

4. Not here for that.
Me: How come my kids have their own bedrooms and I have to share a closet with a man who hoards yard work shirts?
Interviewer: we meant questions about the job
Me: *sips coffee* oh I don’t want the job. I’m just looking for answers.

5. All over the place.

8. Diplomatic lying.
[Job interview]
Executive: One of the skills you listed is “diplomatic lying”…?
Me: Yes, for example I will say, “I am a block away,” when it’s more like five or, “I need two minutes,” when I mean at least thirty.
Executive: You’re hired.
Me: I’ll start in a week.

9. Did I pass the test?
Interviewer: describe yourself in three words
Me: hardworking, detail-oriented, fergalicious

10. A one-track mind.
Interviewer: what are your strengths?
Me: memorizing gruesome details about serial killers
Interviewer: what about your weaknesses?
Me: repeating those facts to everyone around me
Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Me: on a wikipedia page for some serial killer— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) August 14, 2018
11. Very impressive…
Honest job interview:
“What are your hobbies?”
