My first job interview after college was similar to the first girl's. This was a place I drove (with my older brother) 6 hours away from home. They gave me a tour of their plant, but then I had SIX back-to-back interviews with different individuals like supervisors/managers of different departments (I was applying for a Quality position. They walked me to each person's office, I'd sit down and answer the same questions, every one of them took notes about my answers. They said they were interviewing a couple other candidates anyway so I had to wait to hear back. By the end of that whole day, I met up with my brother and I had the worst stress-induced migraine (and he was such a trooper driving us all the way back home. I called the HR person for the next few weeks to hear about the status about the position. She told me they interviewed too many candidates for this ONE job, that they were starting the search from scratch. She encouraged me to re-apply, but I politely declined and went GOD. FKING. DAMN IT! All that for nothing! I got student loans to pay!

So this isn't so much an interview horror story but an interview, training, and first week of working at this place horror story. So I needed a part time job while I was in nursing school because I had already completed the general courses and was only taking nursing classes. I liked makeup and the beauty world so I applied to Ulta. Got an interview and told them up front I was in school and that this job would have to work with my school schedule. One of the interviewers was pissed at this but the other lady who was higher up than her loves my knowledge of makeup application and beauty influencers and so I was hired. Come to find out the lady that was pissed about my availability was my direct boss and scheduled me only on the days I said I had classes and told me if I couldn't work those days then they didn't really need me. So I had turned down another job offer, wasted time training at this job, and was harrassed by my boss because I wasn't fully committed to the job.

Its crazy that she said her worst interview was to do door to door sales. I do door to door sales for a telecom company and its not a pyramid scheme I dont have to convince people to sell for us and make money off of people who sell for us, my commission for one sale is higher than some people make a week. Im just trying to say that its not all that bad and it doesnt sound like she had a bad interview, she didnt have a bad experience, just wasnt the right thing for her, and thats okay.

#1: I had an experience once where there were 3 interviews. Not in a row thankfully, you need to eat. But I didn't know the next person was going to ask -the exact same questions-. It really weirded me out and I wondered why the employees didn't communicate with each other. Now I know to just be consistent, but still a lame method.
#2: This is why I prefer a phone interview first.

It's very common in the two industries I've worked in in the past decade to have half day interviews, full day interviews, and interviews with several different groups within the company back-to-back on the same day.

The interviewers made it seem like every answer I provided was wrong (even when they asked where I live) I was on the verge of tears towards the end and THATS when they started easing up and being nicer

My success is to play your skills lower than the head of department, eventhough you know the skill set or the job, that way they don't feel threatened by your skills. Worked for my current and pass jobs

Buzzfeed keeps pushing me away with their content but I see Jazz or Lindsey (or pero like) in the thumbnail and I come crawling back like a crying ex begging for forgiveness. I can't leave
