“I am myself a career counselor, and many times while I am talking to a job seeker, I come across situations where they have had a crazy experience during the interview,” they told Bored Panda about its origins.
“That made me think of asking this question on Reddit, where everyone would come with an even crazier story.”

“One of the peculiar themes found across several answers was that many had a gut feeling in the first few minutes of the interview that they weren’t going to get the job, yet interviewers kept the interview going for the sake of it, wasting both their and the interviewee’s time,” they said.
“Also, there were many cases where a person was interviewed for 2-3 rounds, only to find out in the end that it was a fake job. Bizarre, right?”

However, the Redditor believes the real focus should be on cultural fit. “A bad attitude is almost impossible to fix, and if someone ends up in a place where they don’t connect with the team or environment, it can cause long-term issues for everyone involved.”
