19 Job Seekers Who Discovered Just How Exciting A Job Interview Could Be

Well, the job interview started out like a normal Tuesday for these people, until it absolutely did not. One minute it’s “just show up and be professional,” the next minute it’s a dog playing keep-away with your resume, shampoo soaking you from head to toe, and coffee turning you into a walking stain.

Most of the chaos hits right before the doors even open. There’s the person who shows up in a suit and realizes the tag is still on, the candidate who gets a bee sting and then tries to talk through it, and the applicant who cries out of one eye because something decides to get stuck right before they walk in. Even the cars and clothes refuse to cooperate, from a breakdown 200 miles from home to shorts with a massive rip discovered after the interview.

Here’s the full story.

That’s when the resume went missing, because OP’s dog chose the 30-minute pre-interview window to hide it like a treasure hunt.

This is similar to a last-minute work emergency where someone debates backing out of helping a friend adopt a rescue dog.

Then came the fashion and grooming disasters, like the new suit with the tag still on and the shower head snapping off while someone was still covered in shampoo.

After that, the universe really committed, with wasp and bee stings, poison oak, and someone accidentally crying through an interview because their eye started betraying them.

Finally, even the logistics and wardrobe failed, from a car breaking down far from home to showing up in two different shoes and only noticing the ripped shorts after it was all over.

15. On my way to a job interview, and this had to go ahead and happen.

Nobody wants to work for free, but apparently nobody wants to interview while being attacked by their own day either.
