Part II: The Most Disastrous Job Interviews People Ever Had

Job interviews are far from the best way to find a suitable candidate for most roles. Without a doubt, candidates who communicate well vocally and exude charisma will find themselves accepted into far more roles, whether or not they were actually the best candidate. 

But is there any way to get it right? There is this general expectation going into an interview of how it will work on both sides. The interviewer expects that they will, well, interview, asking questions to get a grip on the candidate's experience and compatibility. The interviewee expects to be interviewed when searching for a job. Breaking from this tried and true formula can be a jarring experience for both parties and throwing curveballs at candidates can actually make them perform worse.

Enjoy this selection, the second part in a three-part series of the most disastrous interviews that people ever had.
