Twitter Users Shared Their Worst Interview Stories

#43: Seriously?

Lack of self-awareness can be frustrating, especially when it manifests in employers and bosses. One Twitter user shared an incident from her college years when she interviewed for a position with a local interior decorator. The office was situated in the decorator’s Staten Island home, which is not uncommon for small businesses. However, the story takes a strange turn from there.

Upon arrival, the decorator seemed overly comfortable, greeting the interviewee barefoot, and the house-cum-office appeared disheveled. Despite these apparent lapses in professionalism on the decorator’s part, she dared to reject the candidate due to her tattoos, highlighting a clear lack of self-awareness.
